SEEKING      MIRACLES

Nathan_Henton_After the fall_2025_edited

After the fall,

After the crash,

Twisted gratitude,

In flight, spiralling

Somersaults,

Crumpled,

shattered,

I lie,

Angels at my back.

Blunt. Force. Trauma.

My eyes open.

Tarmac axis,

Orange glow,

Still alive.

Still breathing,

Hit and run.

I roll away,

to the grassy bank,

Here comes the pain.

And the shock.

My coup de grâce,

After the fall,

After the crash,

Twisted gratitude.

Once I saw a pieta in my coffee crema,

Not in extreme detail… its fucking coffee crema,

But i recognised a pieta scene all together.

It quickly began dispersing and then it was gone.

 

Todays reading was just a crema orb, i thought of

The wholeness available to us, the togetherness

And interestingly, that orb did not break apart

As i carried my coffee back to my room.

 

Ive seen so many shapes and images in my

Auspicious coffee crema,

I wonder if those priests of chance

Back in Roman times, so obsessed with the

Flight pattern of birds, would they interpret 

My coffee crema as well, if they had a travel

Sized aropresss would they become interested

In finding meaning there too. A place i go to

Everyday, a tool i use every morning. A ritual.

A liturgy. My Eucharist. A crema communion.
