Are you there, Edie?
It's me,
God.

Are you here
In the fluttering of my eyelashes,
Like great bat wing?
They shake.

My hands,
Nails bitten to the bone,
Bloody, dirty.
Are you there, too?

All I want is,
To reach,

That unseen power,
Force, connection,
You and I share.


So please, if we're here,
Together,
Let us know.
