Purgatorio


Faith and doubt
Have left me blind,
For when I have one
The other will mind.

Faith and doubt
Have left me bound,
For some knots loosen
As others grow sound.

Faith and doubt
Have left me deaf:
Their devotees shout
With every breath.

 Faith and doubt
Have left me mute,
Reluctant to choose
In a circular dispute.

 Faith and doubt
Have left me dumb.
When taken together,
They yield zero sum.

 Faith and doubt.
My guts says neither
Is worthy of trust.
Skeptic? Believer?
