CALL ME BELOVED

creation myth #13: for god so loved to fill emptiness
that he stared into the void and we stared back –
fully realized, and full of a sudden and terrible impetus.
we cannot help what we cannot help but it is
our responsibility to try, and that is our failure
and that is our trembling hallelujah.
we stare into voids, too, and have to fill it –
it’s a godly impulse – and what we fill it with
doesn’t seem to matter and this is sin –
we’ve the ability to craft worlds and fill them with life.
it should all be lightness and laughter,
we should look at our works
and earn a more deserved rest.
