silences

Here are a few lines from the stanzas in “silences”, a poem of struggle during God’s silences:

I want to believe

again

but silence cocoons me

I’m in my desert

sand

scratches my bones

scrapes my throat

I ask for a sign

but except for a sigh

god’s only sign is

more silence

no matter how hard I try I cannot ignore

crucifixion

to head straight for resurrection
