Wearying the Creator

Milton Jordan

May 3, 2022

During working hours, three days short

of Sabbath rest but an eternity 

removed from chaotic void, God wearies

of careless creatures practices pushing

steadily back toward the dark, obscuring

light and ignoring divine calls to turn

from our God wearying destruction. 

Milton Jordan lives in Georgetown with the musician Anne Elton Jordan. His most recent poetry collection is What the Rivers Gather, SFASU Press, 2020. Milton edited the anthology, No Season for Silence: Texas Poets and Pandemic, Kallisto Gaia Press, 2020.
