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
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
a god
