National Poetry Writing Month 2016

Bible Study

And then she became the epistemology she can't stop talking about with herself

Little kid asks if God can be God and His own mother
Bible study teacher says 
this is a silly question
explains
God is bigger than your brain
we can't claim to know His shape or motivations
or how He pushes a bud into blossom
or how He swallows up the blood of an entire nation
leaving behind only fashionable coffee shops and fading shrieks of graffiti
know simply that He does
It is beyond the tender slips of minds to conceptualize 
so niggling and impossible a thought as why?
The child cries,
How, then, if we are so small and unknowing
ignorant and baked under our own sun
can we presume to know as much as His existence?
Maybe the holiest creed 
is not knowing
is never knowing
or ever proclaiming what does not a have a name to proclaim

Upon her saying this,
all the lights went out
the room somehow crawled smaller
The child is afraid, but never so sure of her unsureness
she worries that when God comes
she won't believe in Him
​But maybe the child is God's pinky
maybe the child is God
and her pinky is an acorn
and her fingerprints are the forest
and an acorn is smaller than a forest
but also somehow bigger
balancing on the folds of God's pinky
and God is a child
and the child isn't you
​but she was yesterday
