The Island of Ze-Do

Kingdom of supernatural bandits,
Too large for a body to own,
Too small to confine a body in for life,

What are your resources today
Between the demonic playground
And the austere gate of heaven?

A goldfinch in a scrub oak
Under blue thunderheads and silver
Angels made mute by unbelief

Appears as a flash to the last
Bandit scholar from the Capitol,
Marooned here and resentful

At the remarkable good fortune
Of a well-besieged existence.
He swings on his heels, exclaims.
