I See No God Up Here


I See No God Up Here – an Ekphrastic poem

If I take a moment from my capsule;
If I float beyond it, hands open
To the stars, I can’t breathe
Through the tears.
If I could sew a net of suns,
I’d use it to catch gods, and
Rope them in like fish,
Bodies flashing mirrors in
Eternal obsidian nights straight
Across the Milky Way.

But from my shallow island
Contained within my helmet,
I can’t help but call back to earth:

“I See No God Up Here…”
