Thoughts, imaginings, dreams
are just fantasies if not lived
or the whisper of a devil.
The weeks and years I’ve struggled
to untie this knot
I cannot say.

Fear and thrill, I
with such mortal stuff,
rail and speak with God
and try to see his hand
to wrestle courage or madness
from this mess.

I’m all a twitter
to do the work of God
I just can’t tell which voice
is his.

…and perhaps I’ll switch
again.
