JEREMIAH WEBSTER August 15,1945 Worse than any wizard from Oz throwing back the curtainon his pyrotechnics was the dayGod died and became human:after his dynasty abovethe sun,Hirohito,divine wind,kamikaze,no more. The broadcast went out with the staticlike any other voice,went out from the lungs. And the believercut back the branchesof his garden until white river stonesglowed with the same lightas the exclusive moon. 6 Beloit Poetry Journal Winter 2007/2008 M.A.SCHAFFNER Oh Dorothy A scarlet monkey—golden epaulets— blows on his whistle and screams.The sacristantrembles with his little bells and runs.Just once, I wish,as the rest dive under their desks, I'd like the chain of command to dangle straight,each link clean and visible,and weigh no more than I can carry without cursingthe day I entered this paper city.The monkey spits out vocals—a question?—— then scratches out the first eye looking back.It's hard for everyone,even for the boss,who looks at the tissue caught in his nails as if for an answer,and proclaimsthe meeting over—regarding the next,time and the agenda will follow shortly. 7 Beloit Poetry Journal W
