One Attribute

God is breath - and

the spaces between each;

a massive swelling of the

heart, waves of joy;

a want to

breathe better

keep breath

or catch breath again;

a desire to

shorten each exhale

to the smallest point of mirth,

adjustable to the infinite

over and over –

He is a place of silence,

the full length of measureless love -

painful voluptuousness;

an eruption of the soul.
