Mannequin male

he's a wannabe-girl

not knowing why

His vagina's fake

twisted flesh

shaped by a cord

Questions play games

boggling his heart

fracturing his soul

Skinny from guilt

playing hide and seek

tagged by tears

Disturbing God:

his journey is long

even when next door

-Flannery O'Connor

-"...one must search for the humanity behind the inhuman."

*Reflections of Frederick Buechner:

  -Each of us, for instance, carries around inside himself, I believe, a certain emptiness - a sense that something is missing, a restlessness, the deep feeling that somehow all is not right inside his skin.

  -Part of the inner world of everyone is the sense of emptiness, unease, incompleteness, and I believe that this in itself is a word from God, that this is the sound that God's voice makes in a world that has explained him away.  In such a world, I suspect that maybe God speaks to us most clearly through his silence, his absence, so that we know him best through our missing him.

  -Our days are full of nonsense, days that God speaks to us words of great significance - not words that are written in the stars but words that are written into the raw stuff and nonsense of our days, which are not nonsense just because God speaks into the midst of them.
