Poem frag: The faith of a donkey

*

My fear was without privilege --
my fear was simply fear, no longer was
the sign of my having been singled out
as special, spiritual -- fear was just fear --
a shiver in this matter beings were --
one more vibration that gray flesh
gave off -- a shiver -- nothing more.
But faith reduced grew stranger than before.
