CHAPTER 4

Hananiah is speaking.

HANANIAH (Luminous):

When God comes to you . . .

and he does come to you—

you say: he hasn’t come to me

you’ll never hear his voice

You’ve been awake in the night

in the dark listening

for a word a touch,

(you’ve been desolate)

you’ve said: I am alone

you’ve said: I am abandoned

he will not speak to me . . .

He does not speak to you.

While you are writhing

in your hot, still, brain God

has visited you

and visited you again

falling into your heart

like a soft cooling rain

Your heart is a garden

blooming, and replete

God has rippled though

you, you are complete.
