Theology

The world, primordial, lies beneath

  God, hermit world, greyclasped, blackened

like the deep rocktomb, vacuous

  inside Man’s aching heart and bones.

 

Stargazing eyes will feed souls struck

  by the vastness of all things;

arms stretched beyond mortal trappings

  harvest meaning to break the dark

 

dark is the night of Man’s spirit

  who in naissance was cast onto

dirt and gravel, see, one so new

  lone, carnal, grabbing from the grit.

 

We sat, ourselves played out as now

  on Time’s precipice, creating

cosmos, companions, attempting

  vengeance on Nature’s tooth and claw.

 

O life where is thy sting? Fable

  we smear as salve upon your brief,

ephemeral, transient

  loneliness.

  

Isolation

  rocks God’s cradle.
