This Sterling Day of Nothing

This Sterling Day of Nothing Where is God? God is where gods are not. Not in office bright, Or silver stairs cued to reason Or trapped in football season, Or filled to the brim, in fife and bugle corps where Ceremony roars; Or dangling from her chin, Or full and bright in summer’s glory; But deep within the fibers of your Carpet; God lays in wait, sledded Glory; Plaintively you step upon his skin; You trip his wires boundless to seep Through the gap – this day, This sterling day of nothing.
