Assuming God




beauty            . how
often have religions taken
thee on their scraggy knees
squeezing...
                           e. e. cummings



Assuming God

had a sense
of smell what smell
was her first
smell? And assuming

God had a sense
of taste what taste
was her first
taste?  And
assuming God

had a sense
of touch what was
the first touch
to be touched?

And Listen—assume
God has heard
it all
and the last of it
was suffering?

And See—assume
God saw
it all
and the last of it
was watching

God, the great
sky eye-
ball unlidded,
lidded,
unlidded, lidded
lidding, lidding

like fogs flowing
over coves
over faces over floating
boots

of minor moons
reflecting
and all 

the unavailable
stars invisible
to the stark
carnal bodies
come to light
