1I am a great pillar of white smoke.
2I am Lot's nameless wife turned to salt.
3
4I am the wound on Christ's back as he moans
5with the pounding of a hammer on his wrist.
6
7I am the nail that holds his house together,
8the long nail in his right wrist that points
9
10toward heaven. I am that nail and I am
11the builder of the house, a strong house
12
13with a sound foundation. I am not the only
14one who lives here. I am the god of
15
16a race of dust mites who build monuments
17in my honor every day in the small dark
18
19corners of my house. I destroy each one
20before I sleep each night. Every morning
21
22there are still more. I am unaware where
23all of them are. There are too many.
24
25I am a god without a name in an empty house.
26I am an open wound festering in the white sun.
