ourselves alone in a divine wilderness

About: Megan Bell, English student.

Rumpled and furious, my grandfather's friend
stood up in a bookstore on the North Side
and lamented the lost Jews of Poland

and declared that he felt sorry for God
who had so many problems with Justice
and had become disillusioned and sad

since He wanted to reveal Himself to us
but couldn't find anyone truly worthy
(it was always the wrong time or place

in our deranged and barbaric century)
and so withdrew into His own radiance
and left us a limited mind and body

to contemplate the ghostly absence,
ourselves alone in a divine wilderness.

-Edward Hirsch, "My First Theology Lesson"
“

at night
I bathe in the quiet
forest lake
in moonlight

spread my linens on the grass

secretly
brew you something to drink

from grasses gathered on St. John’s night
from roots

from the waters of the well of life
from magic

o grasses of sleep, bitterly sweet
grasses
of oblivion

” —Nijole Miliauskaite, from “in the damp places” (translated by Jonas Zdanys)
