Punctuation
god is in
the single dot. the full stop.
even eternity
must have paused
to catch
her breath in bethlehem,
on calvary,
in that hospital room with me.
god is in
the comma, and god is
like
outstretched hands, connecting
or a long
pause, gasping.
god is in
the exclamation's shout!
the anger,
the fervor, the wonder!
god could
be in the colon:
the answer.
god is in
the semi-colon; god
joins what
would remain apart.
is god in
the question mark?
is the
curve and unoffensive dot
the mark of
the fall of
a former
zealot?
is it my
downfall, my lack of faith?
or is it
the curve of god's embrace?
