Grady Sheen and God


When I first saw God,

I was shot in the head

by the one-eyed-man

the villagers called The Argonaut.

Upon waking, I found myself telling

to the stable hand Yates

all of the dream,

where I had been waltzing

on God’s thumbnails

with a she-wolf.

Yates said the Angels had touched me.

Now when I look back,

I can’t remember all the questions I had imposed on

my Creator,

for I had no questions to ask,

I can’t recall a face or much of his body,

for I though it impolite to look,

just the she-wolf and how beautiful and strange she was,

and her breath which smelled like citrus,

and her velvet paw hanging heavy on my shoulder,

it is hard to tell why I had enjoyed

the she-wolf more than God,

so after Yates I told not a soul,

and they all took me for better.
