Where(,) God?

exilic intonations
chain-linked dismissal, sighing
across borders and hungers and legality

crossings in (divine) absentia
in the cataclysm of your transmissions
a(b)surd saturation, devoid of potency
image without sight and speech without a name

a bush whose burning consumes it

oracular dysfunction—
ocular distention
and hospitality is plugged up
its wells are foreign, transgressive
a still-living grain

¿dónde está(s,) Dios?—
so riot the enemies of the (e)State
improprious purveyors of their foreign justice

crumbs and fear will be their bread!
and execution their forehead mark,
in the night of illegible passion, fiery inscription

haec dicit Dominus
on king’s walls, in palaces of invisible hands:
because we have not loved God

God we have not loved because
God’s young you have ravaged and left to bleed
out, in the desert of your ascent
God’s face i have not seen,
though eternally, its eyes tear
in blood and unwant
