God's ghazal

by @parker-vance

I know a scared God (I've seen a scared God) A living-way-up-there God Slumped outside our orbit of violence We're wishing you just cared God Upside while I'm downtown screaming: YOU KNOW THIS ISN'T FAIR GOD You're hiding up in nitrous heavens A help-only-if-you-dare God As our sins slip into the water supply You've given us nothing to bathe in God These California fires; these 2 a.m. stabbings All this suffering isn't rare God With nothing else to live up to I guess we have to wear god.
