Christopher Oie Keller- A Poem


Booming

You reveal a will
in trickles of rain
on a car windshield.

You orchestrate events
into a masterful opus.

You roll your own dice,
weighted with justice,
across compassionate felt.

You topple idol after idol
behind their music
and in front of cameras.

You speak through booming voices
otherwise quiet and inconsequential.
