Thoughts on an Assignment

They say that God is full of huge places
That he stitched up this universe with a breath
But still stands in hallways
Waiting for the last doors to creak closed

I opened the fridge, to see
If the light still comes on when I’m hungry
Or if that too is swallowed up
By a stomach too empty to feed

He’s no Zeus’s lightning, but still
He is loudest in my distances
Shaking my desk awake
When words threaten to wash me clean
Away

I still stand at the universe’s edge
Peaking within the cumulus
For any hall-ward door

Seeking my own stitching sigh
