god is

by Brian Mosher

this blank page.

God is 

the knife at your throat 

when you thought there was no new thing 

left. 

God is 

never right

but who’s gonna tell her.

God is

the space between 

you and whoever’s still standing 

after all the truths have been told.

God is 

the gravity 

tethering you 

to those you love.

God is, again,
