“When the Son of Man comes in his glory with all of his angels, he will sit on his royal throne. The people of all nations will be brought before him, and he will separate them, as shepherds separate their sheep from their goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.”
— Matthew 25:31-33, CEV
A dilated moon croons
in the evening air, where
we were before
we held on so tight,
our minds grew white.
As sheep for heaven,
we fall silently on the right.
