Poem

“Your worship needed a god. / Where it lacked one, it found one”

‘The Shot’

“your infatuation / That seemed to have been designed at birth for a god. It was a god-seeker. A god-finder.”

‘The Shot’

“Your Daddy had been aiming you at God / When his death touched the trigger”

‘The Shot’

“Your Daddy, / the god with the smoking gun”

‘The Shot’

“Your idea / Of heaven and Earth and Hell radically / Modified by the honey-bee’s commune”

‘A Picture of Otto’

“I was a whole myth too late to replace you”

‘A Picture of Otto’

“the Abbess / In the nunnery of the bees”

‘The Bee God’

“Fanatics for their god, the God of the bees. / Deaf to your pleas”

‘The Bee God’

“you were ocean depth / Brimming with God. You said you saw the heavens open”

‘A Pink Wool Knitted Dress’
