God (3)

This one is for you, Eve!

 

I hope that moving to a new place is one of those steps that leads you to the remaining of your life . . .

 

^^

 

No, you never will bind him

To your signs and your burdens!

The least chink -he's inside it,

Like the supplest of gymnasts.

 

By the drawbridges

And flocks in migration,

By the telegraph poles,

God's escaping us.

 

No, you never will train him

To abide and to share!

He, in feelings' resident slush,

Is a gray floe of ice.

 

No, you never will catch him

On a thrifty dish, God

Never thrives in the window

Like domestic begonias!

 

All, beneath the roof's vault,

Were awaiting the builder,

The call. Poets and pilots

- All gave up in despair.

 

He's the sprint -and he's moving.

The whole volume of stars

Is, from Alpha to Omega,

Just a trace of his cloak.
