THE LORD’s DAY
Written June 21, Ballard District, Seattle Washington
THE LORD’s DAY
Sundays are for poetry,
sacred like the glinting
blade held high.
Sundays are for solidity,
spectrum glass-scatter on
the concrete Page.
Sundays are for mystery,
for found perfections,
carried always and cared for.
Sundays, priestly Urim & Thummin,
a plate over the breast set
with chosen gemstones.
Sundays are songbirds
calling the week into being.
Sundays are the Lord’s Day,
placesettings for all mankind.
“Come now and join the feast,
from the greatest to the least.”
poems & pictures by JJ Brinski
The Mad Space Poet is a saint. He writes the songs of the stars, tells of the places angels and aliens congregate. He is brimming with starrish rant, with awe, vinegar, and white-hot sentiment. From his observatory, the Mad Space Poet stares at the sun until fire pools in his eyes orb-full, gaze-blazen, then forthright fall the words.





This has to be my favorite thing that you've written lately. I'm just over here basking in it.
Aw, Ballard!! Is the pic at Golden Gardens? That area was my old ‘hood!
