Proof that there is no God
The tilt of her head,
The curve of her breast,
The waist I’ve encircled,
Of the girl I’ve caressed.
I know in this universe,
That we are alone,
For if God really existed,
He’d have kept her for his own.
***
The gift of her love,
The child that she bore,
The help I’ve enjoyed,
From the wife I’ve adored.
I know in this universe,
That we are alone,
For if God really existed,
He’d have denied me her loan.
***
The wealth of her words,
The light in her eyes,
The soul I’ve witnessed,
At the death I’ve denied.
I know in this universe,
That we are alone,
For if God really existed,
She’d have arrived safely home.
