Questions Directed Toward the Existence of God

To Reason with Heathen at Harvest, 2017, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye

---

Does God exist 
in the space between
my body 

and a stranger's body
when we sit side 
by side 

on a train?
Or does He exist
in space—

between the stars 
whose light takes years 
to reach

our eyes? Or is He 
the light coming down
like a 

million invisible birds 
on fire but, somehow, 
burning 

nothing He touches?
