You say you do not love god,
but there she is, your wife.
~Joseph Campbell
God is gaseous
and elemental, creeping
through existence, filling
negative space
with the unnameable, the untouchable and
on a bad day, the unbreathable
cacophony of catechism and
the chatter of intellectuals.
How can you get away from it,
what God Is: the pantheon
of Namaste. Everywhere,
the lexicon of oughta.
The weight of the matter
is thought, ponderous
and tedious. Is:
hangs in the air
like holy smoke at Delphi.
The ominously omni,
the infinity between electrons.
God is love, god is truth,
and God Is
and everywhere to boot.
Let God be negative space.
Let God be a Sunday off
from adjectives, a Sunday off
from infinite stuff.
~XineAnn
