This God Speaks in Tongues
by Mila D. Aguilar
Look how He talks,
this God,
without a sound
sending a whining wind
upon us
and when the roar
of log on falling log
didn't work,
the lick of death
and tongues of fire.
Listen to Him walk
on your green earth
how silently
He spins around
leaving the soil
on which He trod
flooded with the murk
of your filth
warning you
of your folly.
Feel His language
in your bones
eating you up
soon enough
the smell & taste
of His wrath
pungent
to your deaf ears
palpable
to your dulled eyes
