Heaven,
Like wet sackcloth
Chafes the soul’s hide with easy
assumptions
Generating
Gesticulating
Congregating
We assumé Angels love us,
that God
Has reasons
We say He says so, but
Do we know?
Fight, fly, walk on raging lakes
if you want
But don’t ask any Answers
and tell no Questions
Because God’s pen is yet scratching
good, local, food.
