my god is

imperfect, a perfect image for me.
humbled by its mistakes.

my god is a mistake.
a wrong answer,

differently abled.
its winters often in spring.

its summers sometime in autumn.
my god is a fracture, a flaw.

gender fluid. defined by its
Inhumanity, it is complete

in its incompleteness. aspires
not to aspire. my god is contradiction,

counter intuitive. fresh in its decay.
its more is always less. thank god.
