Divine Desire

Poe
said
God exploded,
became everything everywhere.
What we feel, see, hear.
The cat at your feet. And your feet.
The house you own, the blossoming daffodils on your table. Plus your table.
But Poe's deity yearned to be whole again.
Like a tempting Wagnerian siren,
enticed all atoms
to meld,
become
one.
