Job's Revision

God sheds darkness
sent heavy like a slab of wall
the understructure of light
the real beams of noontime
shine with density only
shine with the chaos of a shut eye
the hunger heaped there
And sloughed from the feet of God.
And to what shall I compare the darkness of God?
it is like his coat no longer warm
it is like his dreams no longer dreams
but nightmares and so the darkness falls
from the very forearms of God
as he wipes them across his face.
