An Imperfect Life

Bottom up Christology

 

Bottom up christology gets high as

hot-air balloons ascending to the moon!

Their rise is stalled; for gravity impugns.

(Allow at least ten thousand feet for bias!)

God, it implies, descends to something drab

to bond in merely earthly stratosphere.

The Infinite, on cue, told to appear

to join the Godself, (a deflated grab),

to humankind. But in the upper realms

we know not star from dust, from asteroid

or which of heaven’s boulders to avoid

when we, not God, are tacking at the helm.

Until God speaks, reveals the way we should

attain the incommensurately Good.
