god particle

What if we
were just one atom
of god?

What if
the godparticle
was in each of us

all
because we
are the protons and
neutrons

bouncing around the nucleus
of god?

Nothing truly touches.
There is no such thing
as time.

We are all sparking
aimlessly
to keep god

alive. Because
life is not a condition
but the motion

of matter so close
that we cannot see
between

the molecules--
the kissing spark
of electron,

creating what we know
as skin
and
sky
and
space

that extends
with these planets,
scattered, small sources
of light

that reflects
off our bodies
like internal moons

--the sparks,
the light
within

to brighten the whole.

  1. I love this image of us bouncing around inside of God...positive and negative charges...keeping him (her?) alive. I haven't written my poem yet. I think it's going to be a prose poem, though.
