God Composted

 



God Composted



Remember when we heard God's roar

in the house we bought in Colorado

after the Jehovah's Witnesses moved out

and we moved in?


They left a stale crust of God in the cupboard

Now he sighs in the compost

turning green

upon yesterday's bread

Wonderful! Its brevity makes this all the more powerful.

Was it a crust of God

or is that an image of a deeper metaphor?

This reader is left with a whole book of questions

and a few unexpected answers.

Delicious writing!!

Thanks again Eric. The crust is surreal. I did dream of white light and a roaring or rushing in the house. It was terrifically haunted. No hauntings in my house here, just one ghost in the alleyway. I trust your sensibilities on this one and may send it out.

Do, and please do write more of the God in the closet!
