State of Eternity Here, god is wrapped in aluminum foil, crinkled and pressed into a decorative flourish with one laboured palm. Born in a rented garage, this divine way is lit with spent bulbs in metallic coats that shine unplugged. Hubcaps, perhaps split from a moving wheel, panned out on the side of a road next to a drained Big Gulp, a curl of loose wire and a handful of asphalt pebble strays are found and mounted like 5 o’clock suns. Spent Kleenex boxes, each tissue already parceled out in service to some wet woe, make the throne. One holy container always full.
