Kit Kelen #956 - o God who is not

956

o God who is not

for godsbother

why be here?

why bother?

what effort to be believed on

(weight of the world and more)

surely elsewhere's easier?

it's another thing on paper

or in the sky

you're everywhere when you're not there

you could be my conscience

lightning strike, feeling tide

Christmas all at once

roll over for the tummy rub

we know

everyone knows because

the God-ache without

the God-ache within

to whom we, hands together, pray

as if beginning blank

we make our own language for it

I can say what I like to you

read you like a book

and any test

let me hang you round my neck

trundle you about diversely

saints and angels, devils, cherubs

incubi, succubus

so

we never can agree

shall I bore you with a vow?

it's a good one

something I'll never do

you bet

oops

just slipped

a vulgar oath perhaps?

or promise what I can't, in case...

o God who is not

as much with me

as any other

what adventures we've had

thanks for the soul

I know I am the miracle

we are

and world as well

you too

God go with you

God be with me

please bless

be on my side

do we have a deal?
