“Take me out of here. I’m not a believer.” “This place is historical.” “I don’t like history.” “Where d’ya think you came from?” “It doesn’t really matter. I’ve been to Heaven’s door, and know that there is no God in there.” What I see now is unprecedented. She turns into a smoky outline gradually vanishing …

In the end, governments didn’t need to ban religion. The numbers attending had dwindled away to almost nothing.
It was their arrival that had sparked the crisis of faith. They had laughed at the world and their primitive beliefs. They had shown them the universe beyond the tiny galaxy their Earth inhabited.
No God created this, they told their newly conquered servants, through mirthful laughter. We did.
Humanity acquiesced.
In a small synagogue, hiding in the darkness of the shuttered doors and windows, she stood to address her small band.
‘Today,’ she told them, ‘we start to fight back.’

Pregnant Pause ….. by Deepa
rushing
panting
speeding
across each other
in wheels of four
or two
or sometimes
on foot
running out of breath
in this endless race

and transcend the euphoria of touching the sky
when we take that leap of faith
onto the fabled cloud ten

gentle lights, minute on a backdrop of envy
You dare not look below, for the plummet down cannot be survived,
To fall is to end.
so you look above, held by charges of lightning from your ascent
And like the tree you are, you grow some more
to find a foothold on the moon in reach
