​    but where is hell
a place
    between
 
    not there
 
    what hell is
a way of being

               here
        not that
 
    when hell
    seems hellful

     now
 
this
a devil-knows
 
(we tell
ourselves)

a devil-may-care
                          lull-
a-bye heaven
 
    uncertain.
Sweet release from
 
monotony-never-death-never-reaching-knowledge-never-concluding-eternity-never-time-never-consuming-pain-never-resolving-

    no house lights
    after a performance
​ 
salvation, certainty
    where then faith?  
 
between promises
    circles
        between eternal rounds
 
a familiar face
    a name escaped
at last! at last!
         Grant Judgment:
      Give Finality:
