Questions
Where are you Jesus?
What language are you speaking?
And who is listening?
What language does the man in the convenience store experience you in?
Are you the smile on a random customer’s face?
Or are you the person who took his dad away?
What language does the single mum hear you in?
Are you the sparkle in her child’s eyes?

The Poem
The understanding is in the reading,
For the poem’s voice can be heard in the mystery,
Carefully calling your name from beyond the script.

I am His
I am His and He is mine,
Together we will dine.
The beauty of His robe, the radiance of His eyes,

But my ear did perk at the oddity of its quarry.
‘Cause guzzling [...]

in terror I fell on my knee
screaming and pointing to where the stars should be
i watched him gallop his white horse across the skies
wearing his proclamation on his thighs
like glistening hot candle wax at night
his robe was flowing thick and white
then I saw his bottom lip stretched and thin
deformed and pushed out over his chin
a [...]

Going Nowhere
He said he loved her as he pushed her to the ground
He said he loved her as he ripped the buttons off
He said he loved her as he had his way with her limp and whimpering body
Though he was gone she heard him say he loved her as she cried in the shower washing [...]

explosion

explosion bursts forth from the belly of a man
what was his past that led to this day

explosion rips and curls in a tide of emotion
where does he lay his head or walk in the day

explosion swirling forward like a gushing river
what is his destiny where is God taking him this day

explosion bursts forth from the [...]
