finding god on a day at the beach
the backs of his arms and hands
stretched out in the hot breeze;
he was jesus, and i was just there,
watching.
he had waded into the surf,
dropped warm, yellow sand
from the reverent crooks
of his fingers that cupped
broken rock like it was holy.
i had seen him rise from his knees
and head straight to the beating water,
his face in prayer, or whispering
secrets
to a little mound of beach.
he was a boy, and I was just there;
everything and nothing profound,
yet he was jesus, and I left
not understanding.
