In Spite Of Ourselves

What if God is the

 Universe

 

Not something separate

 and distinct

 

But the Universe

 itself

 

Eliminating the dual

 notions

 

Of Creation and

  Intelligent Design

 

Insuring our divinity

 as part of the whole

 

Insuring our divinity

 —in spite of ourselves

Descartes, Be Damned

From life’s final dissertation,

 logic must be barred

 

A blueprint of our limitations,

 its legions burned and scarred

 

In that last final closing moment,

 transcendence kindled bright

 

The strictures of its failed excuse

  —left victim to the night

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

Damning Refrain

The deeper the words

  formed

 

The meaner they

  became

 

       ‘now free and alive

         and stirred from the bottom

 

      ‘once buried and denied

        in moments of pain’

 

Taking on new life,

  they glare and they scowl

 

Staring back from the mirror

  —a damning refrain
