some say God is in the trees
but the cedar in front of my house
is always full of cackling old blackbirds

i hear the whisperings
of my Creator
somewhere
deep in the middle of me

maybe i am the church

maybe every pain is a memory
every tear a redemption
first write for poetry month / the prompt I found from Rachel McKibbens -- If your body is a church , what memory is its god?
