FINDING GOD

Neon flickering crucifix
The buzz of electricity
The buzz of the night
Just wearing off
And my sight is coming back
My sense of direction
Sense of balance
Sight – sound – touch
The touch remembered as a child
Memories back
Past as new as early morning stumbling
Sight of that
Neon flickering crucifix
Atop the church down the street
Flashing codes
Flashing lights
Strobing confusion
Hypnotizing
Stumbling again
Toward an intoxicating pull
I walk
Intersection
Salvation – destruction – decision
Intersection
Towards that
Neon flickering crucifix
Dulled by
Sirens and flashing
Emergency lights
But closer I come
I fall at the steps of the church
My search for truth almost over
I open my mouth to speak
But the
Neon flickering crucifix
Fizzles…out

POP!

Where is this God now?
