does god daydream?


does god daydream?

a foaming mug of beer in hand;
glossy moonlit stare out the pub window
in the heat of summer;
tongue lolling to the side for want of drink

does god nightdream?

a starry winter eve neath
piles of patchwork quilts;
byproducts of his mother's sister's
half-hazard pastime

longing in the night
for a lover's hand to hold
beneath the pillow, white
tight
for wanting
untold
unknown to the seraph 
burning in his own passion.

does god daydream?
her lips pursed toward sky
blue with the dejection of a missed
kiss
an unrehearsed dialectic
a prophylactic:
dejection 
an unexpected rejection

did you capture her attention?
the curve of your
lips
hips

signaling a "not yet"
a softly spoken regret
an untold story
unmooring 
self from sellf's stability?

does god dream 
of your wanting
of your nearness 
of your fearless
approach
without reproach

a silhouette
a cabriolet 
awaiting
anticipating 

a waste of your time 
a haste of mind
a crocus 
blooming unfocused

in a place 
of haste
spoiled 
foiled by frustration
isolation

alone
a daydream 
a day
a night

a dream
a god
