Looking for god under the bed—
finding dust bunnies.
Sacred dust bunnies.
Of course, I think,
but to be honest, friend,
I don’t really see
the divine
in these drifts of abandoned hair
and fuzz and grit,
no matter how much I’d like to.
Now I know how I get in my own way.
For here on, I’ll need to question
my eyes more often.
Lower my standards? Perhaps
feel myself being held
up to the light
to see what shines.
