\nKismet\/Still Can’t Find Her<\/p>\n
I’ve been looking for God
\nIn between cities and the webbed space connecting fingers.
\nI’ve been pacing the bare-bulbed blinding
\nNever finding faith or redemption,
\nSo that I can drop down to my knees and
\nGive myself over to something other than my impulses.
\nSomething other than you.<\/p>\n
I’ve been looking for God
\nBehind the soft spaces of your ears.
\nI’ve searched for years to find a way
\nTo absolve my own indiscretions.
\nLooking underneath my rib cage hoping
\nThat the bigger the space is
\nThe more likely God’s to be found.<\/p>\n
I’ve been looking for God
\nInside the notebooks my friends give me;
\nDesperate attempts to channel my
\nFrenzied cycling thoughts,
\nBecause there must be a better way to repent
\nFor the time that wasn’t spent
\nIn your good graces.<\/p>\n
I’ve been looking for God
\nFor over 24 years
\nTo make sense of the recurring kismet
\nThat draws me to you.
\nI still can’t find her but I think she lives
\nIn the way you pronounce my name
\nLike a hymn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
