God, petulant,
Berates me this morning,
Where’ve you been? What took you so
Long? I’ve been waiting for
HOUUUUUUUUUURS!
Look how tall I’ve grown in your absence
I
Almost
Reach
The sky
Blue-ombre tunic twirls
– The master is proved right,
Whirls like a Golden Compass
Beyond all that is Rational –
I cleared the room
So it would just be
Us
When we met
Again
(See the faces peering out from behind
Bannister-mountains, whispering, Is that her?)
– Everything in Existence
Does point
to God –
On Afternoons and Coffeespoons
