Bright-eyed, clean-shaven people used to tell me
There is a God-shaped hole inside you that nothing can fill but God.

Zora Neale Hurston said: Two things everybody's got tuh do fuh theyselves. They got tuh go tuh god, and they got tuh find out about livin' fuh theyselves.

I have sat in church and watched people cry and pray and sing,
their eyes opening up and up while mine closed down and down.
I have sat outside under the light of the moon
Holding my hands over my heart
Feeling myself fill up, warmed as if drinking wine.
