The First Day

She's still sore.
God hurt her.
Bringing God into the world hurt her.
Pain.
Delivery is painful.

He's finally started crying.
Out of the mouths of babes.
Praise ordained.
God is so small right now.
God cant walk.
Cant feed Himself.

I need a God I can wrap my arms around.
Forget my mind.
Something tangible.
A baby.
Squeeze.
Smell.
Snuggle.
Embrace.
Kiss.
Sing.
Rock.
Pat.
Calm.
Whisper.
Bounce.
Change.
Clean.
Clothe.
Feed.

He's overwhelmed.
Baby made him.
How does he father Him?
Made in Baby's image.

Laughing now.
Dont think too hard.
Show Him to the neighbors.
Oriental lords.
Shepherds.
Animals.

Husband.
Wife.
Child.
God.
Earth.
Flesh.
Bone.
Blood.
