The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker 
The Atemporality of Pulchritude

No need to posit angels 
wandering about with the glow of youth 
when death bids us to step outside
with fresnel eyes penetrating the
timeless lattice of every age 
at once and forever 
Amen

In the garden verdant yet riverfree
no brook or stream brings 
apples to their sanguinity 
no rootdraught or sunfall 
belies the eternal unturning of
the cloched and enwalled
Amen

Here we drink in the angles of
proclivities and thread our fingers
through the dense tapestry of
potential energies that luster 
with transcendental perfection
for ours is the glory now and forever
Amen
