Through the mixed blessing of the internet
Yesterday's gift was to come across
Breughel's 'Conversion of St. Paul'
Because it was his birthday and all
His huge family of painters
Had come from every gallery
And warehouse of the world to celebrate
This one life-changing moment with me
All of us staring and searching
For Paul's small blue body
Overwhelmed on the ground
As if at the bottom of a deep
Well of soldiers and travelers
Who had heard a voice but seen nothing
