Once, we thought we were lost for real.
It had been a long day and night of travel. We disembarked our train too early for dawn, on a concrete platform barely long enough to hold half the carriages, in a place we had never heard of. But we were not lost. The appointed people met us and took us to a large room to sleep until daybreak.
We sprawled into longtail boats for the hours-long journey up-river. On a bend in the bank I saw a monitor lizard that I swear was as large as the Komodo dragons at the zoo. We arrived at last, late in the afternoon, unpacked the children and checked into our cabin in the Malaysian rainforest. We thought we would take a quick walk before dark.
and wondered why, why on earth or in heaven
would the good God decide that it would be a wonderful idea
if we no longer understood one another?
That this separation would rid us of the ridiculous notion
that we were like gods unto ourselves, able
to reach into the clouds of glory and heave down
the throne of the Almighty?
But then, to look at it another way,
what if God were saying that as long as we
only talk to those who speak our language
already, who conspire already to affirm that we are
made in the very image of gods, icons and idols,
