There isn't a He.
But if there was a He then
He made Everything perfect,
Which is to say
You, (if the world is You
And it is)
Then "just so and no better"
If there was a He to tell
I'd tell.
(You are so much blooming out of ***** streets
And camellia blossoms,
Everywhere I, there
The blinding You bursting out of
And flooding my blood with
And I am somehow Perfection's possession
Like a cutout pasted onto white
There are We and the faded world behind)
And if
He was then I'd tell him
He'd better give up now because nothing ever -
But You know I don't think
Any He could've thought up
(And the way Your cheeks fold when
Your teeth show and Your lips are
Just so and no better could ever)
Unthinkable thoughts
I've thought and never alone even alone
You were always somewhere thinking -
(Gods are not so clever
Or so kind)
Impossible for Him.
(But Beauty, You press
Words into me and I seize
Oh! fingers never gripped so
But clutching and You press and hold and
You are!
The birds in my chest are singing
The lightning in my muscles screaming
Love wears a face and it looks on me
And You are!
For all my pitching and whining
And still I open my eyes
And there is no Nothing there,
But You are, oh Love
You are.)
He never could,
But if He did I'd thank Him.
