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