agnostic zeal

i wish for no conversation with
God
the capital G, the Decision,
the Creation, the Destruction,
the Obstruction between here
and the heavenly
the All-powerful Sieve
the Great Perfectionist

no,
i do not seek to speak
to intimidation

let me speak with angels
the neither omnipotent nor earthly
benevolent nor impotent
the unimportants, the in-betweens
heaven's migrant workers
breaking their wings
on the weight of our codependency
with saviors

let me speak with you
the not me
the view i cannot see
the internal outside this body
let us be one thing
that is neither whole
nor incomplete

let me speak within
without talking
nor note taking
swearing
deprecating
trying on invisible linen

let me wander the streets
in these unclothed conversations
