Still When I Picture It the Face of God Is a White Man’s Face by Shane McCrae

Still When I Picture It the Face of God Is a White Man’s Face

 
Before it disappears
 
on the sand his long white      beard before it disappears
 
The face of the man
 
in the waves I ask her does she see it ask her does
 
The old man in the waves      as the waves crest she see it does
 
she see the old man his
 
White     his face crumbling face it looks
 
as old as he’s as old as
 
The ocean looks
 
and for a moment almost looks
 
His face like it’s     all the way him
 
As never such old skin
 
looks my / Daughter age four
 
She thinks it might he might be real she shouts Hello
 
And after there’s no answer answers No
