from Some Figures for Who I Am

It was so I met you once in Florida
in the image of a Baptist graduate student
who told me that the Absolute in Aesthetics

was the same as the Absolute in everything else. 
When I asked what that might be, he tossed his mane,
and pointing his finger and his whole arm, said:

"The Triune God!" – Now suppose you're as saved as he is
(as all of you are somewhere inside yourselves)
how shall I not be read in your own image?

– John Ciardi (1956)
