GOD TOO DOZES
It was too late
I realized
long after his passing
I still prayed for my father
God didn’t answer
my prayers had become mechanical
like sex
ejaculation without orgasm
and pilled sleep.
The itch prevails.
The tags in the mind
don’t respond
absent memories
confused faith:
forgetting
faster than remembering
in moments of lapse
God too dozes
–R.K.Singh
