When Divinity Shows Up


It's in here - this dark cavity of my palm,
where invisible Venus is suspended
in a perceptive night. Wrapped in skin.
Not her own, but her own too sits
closer to her sobs, her heart-throbs.
Among us, peaking in, we have weapons
of earthly materials, ready to dash
towards the next bellow from a God.

We seek new platforms, beyond the skin
that wrap us in what we call the night sky.
Beyond the Vantablack fabric laden with stars
we could make out the skin of God's palm.
If only divinity - when it showed up -
wasn't directly nailed to the first cross.
I have Venuses hidden in my corners,
until morning: dancing mourners.
