There Should Be a God

Sara Eddy

I’m one of three cars in this backwoods cathedral nave, driving between red pine buttresses, stained glass chiaroscuro dappling my chrome and steel. I pass a roadkill fox, posed as if sleeping, trickster. Smoke hangs in the air and makes a sublime sunset, sent from thousands of miles west, where acres and homes and lives are burning. There should be a god, a god of anti-plastic to pull this asphalt, these powerlines, our metal boxes, exhaust, our flimsy desires up into the air, surround them with smoke and—poof—legerdemain, leave only trees, wind, animals in darkness.
