I tremble
I waited for you to show that you are mine
I waited for a circumstance
I waited for your epiphany
That is done
for it has never come
worn down daily with gesture and distaste
I am the epiphany that cannot be shared
So I shake with the universe
I am enough
enough of everything
enough of all time
to here
I shake for myself
You may observe
you may shake with me
but our trembling is for ourselves
this is God's work
roiling within our interior
not less than the creation of the world
no more than myself
only to add the divine entanglement
to our daily mound
upon the hillside of the past
is the mountain of the future
I will shake and tremble
stem to leaf
every atom resonate
I am one of billions
but I am one in all
trembling
I waited for a circumstance

worn down daily with gesture and distaste

every atom resonate
I am one of billions
but I am one in all
trembling
