The little space within the heart is as great as the vast universe.
The heavens & the earth are there, & the sun & the moon & the stars. Fire & lightening & winds are there, & all that now is & all that is not.

That when I note another man like him
I may avoid him.

Life: a solitary butterfly
swaying unsteadily on a slender stalk of grass,
nothing more. But so exquisite!

Who is this god they speak about?
This god of guns, but not of grace.
This god of greed, but not generosity.
This god of the womb, but not of the woman. This god who cannot hear kids cry. This god who fears dark skin.
This god of America, but not all of America? Who is this “god”
