The Image of God


If we are created in the image of God,
creativity is the face of that image.

Face-Off

Melville peeled back
God’s face and found
White space in spume
Rising like a whale.

Kafka picked up
The telephone and heard
Instead of a dial tone
Choirs of angels.

Jonah sulked in
The belly of a whale
Because he wouldn’t
Do God’s bidding.

Job, God’s most faithful
Lost everyone he loved
Because of a bet the Lord
Made with the Devil.

Shape-shifter, madness
Behind a clown’s mask,
Why move this painted
Rock away from its tomb?
