Every plan had a flaw
Pried every board from the floor
Pride before fall but he felt sure
Both hands wrapped in gauze
Stole fire from God, your Lord
And I’m just wonderin’ what she was thinkin’ when she paused
What she was thinkin’ when she paused
“I had a vision / of all the people in the world / who are searching for God
massed in a room / on one side / of a partition
that looks / from the other side / (God’s side)
transparent / but we are blind. / Our gestures are blind.”
Anne Carson | “My Religion”
