YOU ARE ONLY A WATCHER.

Have the humility and awareness

to open your eyes to the unseen

and you will find the face of God.

I don’t mean spirits or daemons

or old gods disguised

as just another object.

No. You are invited

to the thing behind all the things—

big bang’s banger,

electric in lightning,

fortitude in blood cell—

the only wisdom frightening

enough to hold light and dark matter

in one weird-science jar

and say, “Oh well.”

Let’s just see what you have to say

to the morning sun that brings in day.

You can predict it will arrive and leave

but that should never

give you any reprieve

from the fact that you are only

an ancient-future Watcher

of the only One truly lonely

when it comes to pulling

on unseen string theories;

making it all go.

And so no, your existentialism

does not impress me

and you might draw out mythic furies.
