This morning, my dog and I caught God
trying to sneak through the city like
a man skipping Mass in search of a drink.
He still filled the sky and his steps were
like the echoes of an empty hallway.
My dog just wagged her tail but I
shouted at him:
I SEE YOU, OLD AFRAID MAN!
He didn’t turn, just created a dirty rabbit
which he threw over-shoulder at my dog.
I don’t know if my dog or the rabbit was
more surprised. The rabbit dissipated
using natural rabbit-magic, and when I
looked, so had God. The city whispered
an antiphon: Kýrie, eléison.
