God said: 

                GOD MADE YOU. GOD DOES NOT CARE 
IF YOU ARE “GUILTY” OR NOT.

I said: 

           I CARE IF I AM GUILTY!

I CARE IF I AM GUILTY!… 

God was silent. 

                         Everything was SILENT. 

— Frank Bidart, from “The War of Vaslav Nijinsky”; Half-light: Collected Poems 1965-2016
