God-My-Sister, you should see her.

I have so many brothers,

but forever there will be

only one of her, God-My-Sister.

God-My-Father says from those three words

he gave me, all other words descend, branching.

That still leaves me unfit

for conversation, like some deranged bird

you can’t tell is crying in grief or exultation,

all day long repeating,

“O my God. O my love. Holy, holy, holy.”

LOVE SUCCEEDING

I don’t know what makes God happy.

But my father in profile,

asleep on his back in the afternoon,

is a house with a river behind it.
