On Our Place in the Universe~Let Us Not Speak of God

Let Us Not Speak of God

Let us not speak of God.

Let us instead finger luminescence;
touch the birth

of color. No, let us not speak

of the divine. Let us instead immerse ourselves in micro

waves of wandering

light –

the first fragments

of illumination, seeking our attention, phantom photons asking us:

how can you forget
when we have never
left?

No. Let us not speak

but only hold holiness close

embrace this body

of space speeding away so fast it leaves behind

light—
