I mind-bellowed to the flustered stars: 

Where are you         God? 

You         coward. 

Come  

    down 

here         right

                now. 

It is time you were brought to 

account.

It seemed for a moment 

that a breath was siphoned back

Fast as my scorn storm-formed, it dissipated.

For it was not a comic-cosmic ladder  

that hushed down 

but the rungs of a great wheel 

a web  

that net-descended. 

Shit! 

What have you done, now? 

Doubly-inspired idiot! 

The web's edge veiled-down-diaphanous  

then a voice 

or not a voice exactly 

a kind of vibrating meaning interposed:  

.

        You  

        have  

        summoned me?
