This popped unprompted out of yesterday's reflections on faith…

 

THE GOD-SHAPED HOLE

 

It’s death

that stencils

the God-shaped hole

 

into our

tinplate lives.

Because of

 

childhood’s end;

because of

the sleep

 

of reason;

because of

the darkness,

 

that blows like

black sand,

cauterising flesh

 

back to bone

and before

bone; because

 

of these things,

and because

our name is

 

One, we choose

to nominate

the raw, untitled

 

light that streams

through the

God-shaped hole.

 

Acknowledgement is due to the BBC TV series Afterlife for the title.
