Theology is our attempt
to punctuate Mystery
an analysis of the handwriting
of the Beloved’s letter
a drawing
of the back side of light as it receds
Of course there is no such thing
We make it up
and spend the rest of our lives
following an imaginary map
Nevertheless we’re all walking around
with light shining in our eyes
•
Every once in a while you just close them
and smile
