center of the universe
I offered silence and I was
chastised by the god of noise
while the god of peace recessed
into a corner dressed in white
sitting on a stool she recounted
neither scripture nor sacrifice
proclaiming no territorial disputes
offering no reasons for forgiveness
all the while peaceful men wage
war in the four corners of the world
disbelieving the looking-glass
located in the center of the universe
reflects a world of possibility
august two thousand sixteen
