Where is God?
He has forgotten me
He has deserted meLike a cut on the cheek
Of a beautiful white face
That seeps
Its hurt evenlyLike a dirty child
Walking aimlessly
Through the alleys
Searching for sustenanceLike the wave
Expending its last breath
Tumbling over
And overI am assaulted
From every direction
And can only scream
Where is God?But from my mouth
Spills an endless flood
Of pure white feathers
Drifting silently to the groundWhat was it?
Was it the curse
Spoken at age twelve
To the star-studded night
And regretted immediately?Was it the rampage
Of adultery
The bed defiled
And the man hurt?Was it the theft
Of the dime
From the collection plate
As it drifted through the pews?They say that God
Does not turn his back
That it is us
Who turn oursBut I face a cloudy night
Where the full moon shines
Through the thickness
And upon my faceAnd I ask
Where is God?
