Responses eric: Christ (3/2/04) Responses (sorted by date) eric: Christ (3/2/04) God Walks By Derek Hugen, 2-27-04 God of desert walks The sand Alone with me In my sunstroke I vomit on his sandals of which I am unworthy to tie I wipe them with my broken hair (like sarcasm nailed to a crossbeam) The God of the coffee shop mirage takes Regional with too much cream He scatters my papers disappears my table Until I shatter like ceramic cups Distant supermarket horizons The wild God smiling like death and skipping On silver tiles I drop naked and afraid Into my own delusion I am stagnant gray Drips of blood from my fingertips Streak across the right side of my head Flung like paint against a canvas In the desert I have nothing to offer Tell storm shut up Tell lame man stand up Tell blind man see Suffer again tomorrow (Today the bridegroom walks) I scream still silent echo Reverberate dumb vocal chords In the blue oasis of illusion the ancient sharks shadow the deep red Ocean within ocean black sea Covering the earth with flood Wineskins crack with sand Seep water into deep soil swallowing glutton Then no white horses Desert lingers beauty Long rocks and deep roots Wait for storm clouds gather Suffering will have its tomorrow (Today the bridegroom walks)
