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.
