to me or to them

Haiku 7

When I was a child
they said God was ineffable.
So tell me, what’s changed?

God Hates Hate

If it is true that your God hates hate
then I’m thinking that your God is great.
But if your God hates x
where that’s race, creed or sex;
I believe that it’s your hate you state.

Preliminary

the day has worn me

i place my hand on the beam
of this attic room
and imagine the wood
split from a ship

broken
to frame the land
delineating
ours
from theirs

unlike the strut
we saw in the abbey

constructed
as a joke
an insistance
or both

suspended by the beams
it purports
to support

winking the sliver
of air at its base
like god
not quite
touching
the earth
