Inklings

Not quite clues,

certainly not certain,

but maybe.

Count the stars

twinkling,

lose count,

miscount,

guess…

The number of God

is ∞ not one,

or the square root of Pi.

Nor is it forty-two.

The numinous is

illuminating;

the sun seen through steam.

Sift the sand:

each grain

a moment;

how many turns

of the glass

in a lifetime?

Count the breaths,

suffering,

lose count,

miscount…

stop.
