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!!
