I am a great pillar of white smoke. I am Lot's nameless wife turned to salt. I am the wound on Christ's back as he moans with the pounding of a hammer on his wrist. I am the nail that holds his house together, the long nail in his right wrist that points toward heaven. I am that nail and I am the builder of the house, a strong house with a sound foundation. I am not the only one who lives here. I am the god of a race of dust mites who build monuments in my honor every day in the small dark corners of my house. I destroy each one before I sleep each night. Every morning there are still more. I am unaware where all of them are. There are too many. I am a god without a name in an empty house. I am an open wound festering in the white sun.
