plural | conversazioni con dio

I am the lord your god

thou art the god of my father
and his fathers before him,
thou has in thy glory,
forsaken the prodigal son,
and locked the gates
of thy heaven behind him

You shall have no gods before me,
nor shall thou raise up idols

the false idol in my living room
hears my pleas
my suffering
when you do not,
and in response,
does no less than thee

You shall not bow down to them
or worship them; for I,
the LORD your God, am a jealous God,
punishing the children for the sin
of the fathers to the third and
fourth generation of those who hate me

a jealous god thou art
but thy jealousy in truth
hold no more justice
than that of cruel fate
we the children of the
third and fourth generation
hate
for thee has taught us
no other way

You shall not misuse the name of the LORD
your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone
guiltless who misuses his name.

in all my curses
I could not begin
to misuse thy name
for no sound on thy earth
rings viler in mine ears
thy false glory exceeds
even thy false justice

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

your day of rest
is spared not by I
for in my misery
I am granted no
day of sanction

Honor your father and your mother,
so that you may live long
in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

To honor those
who have brought me
to thy accursed lands
I shall do not for thee
but in spite of thee
for those who brought me hence
know not the sin
they have unleashed upon thy kingdom
and may go
in my grace

You shall not murder.

is this sin
reserved only for thee?

for countless are my
grievances
unheard and unwelcome
in your ears

You shall not commit adultery.

by your hand
I was spared
the sanctity
of marriage vows
when you took my
love from me
for that I should
respect those whom
thee deemed so worthy?
behold, will I rend the fabric
of your injustices
until thou have
no choice but judge me

You shall not steal.

shall I steal from thee
the sanctity of souls
abandoned in your worship
as thee has stolen from me

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

for none shall dispense
false judgement and
false justice
but thee, in thine glory
all be damned

You shall not covet your neighbor's house.
You shall not covet your neighbor's wife,
or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey,
or anything that belongs to your neighbor

in this I shall obey
not out of servility but
for I perceive the futility of
such coveting
what thy will graces
I have
what thy will denies
I shall ever be in want
what good be his ox or his donkey
his maidservant, house or wife
to me

for all that I desire
has been struck from
thy book of life
and my cursed existence
lies in want

for your unyielding mercy
on the day
my name
is so erased
from thy book

Until then
a single flame
burns eternal
to remind me
of thy cruelty

"I had no more need of God than he had of me, and if there were one [...] I would meet him calmly, and would spit in his face." - Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn.

And he is my hero.

but I could not
bring myself to finish
that novel
I tried on
three occasions
and it still
lurks around my
house
waiting
impatiently

why, my dear Plural?

it would be
because it bored me to tears
