God, God

Fleda Brown

We dressed for church. I had a white hat

and white gloves when I was fifteen, no joke.

You had to do that to show God you cared.

God's eyes were stained glass, and his voice

was pipe organ（管风琴）. He was immortal¹, invisible,

while my pantyhose（连裤袜） itched² and my atheist³

father chewed his tongue and threatened to run

out the door but didn't for my mother's sake,

and she swallowed her fate, this marriage,

like a communion cracker⁴, and my brain-

damaged brother lurched（倾斜，蹒跚） around the church

nursery, and my sweeter sister watched me

with huge brown eyes to see what I'd do next.

My God, why did I turn my eyes upward when

we were all there, then, in the flesh? I am so

sorry about God, sorry we fastened that word

to the sky. God's not even legal in Hebrew.

If you get the vowel⁵ caught between the two

consonants⁶ of your lips, it can carry you

dangerously up like a balloon over what you'd

give anything to be in the middle of, now.
