An Empty Face

Oh, my God,
My God
I’ve been asked
To believe
You’ll have to forgive me
When I fail to concede
You think
Some know
I doubt for lack of proof
The great chicken and egg
Aquinas used
And I laughed when
David broke William’s watch
Forgive me, Father
For I know what I do
I’ll more readily give
My allegiance to
Dragons and Unicorns
Than to you
Oh, Ruler of Negative Space
To take no form
An empty face
I only ask for one small thing
May I change my mind

When I hear the angels sing?
