Pride, draft no. 2

(now separated out from What is that to me? above)

Sometimes I think that God will wait to take me home

until I have figured out everything that has to happen.

I have tried to dig my own grave

build my own coffin

nail my own hinges

and close my own lid,

forgetting

I do not have a way to dig

if I am dead without him
