She crossed the narrow frontier
at the elastic border of Heaven
which, as is well known,
expands and contracts with God's every breath

Even a shallow cough balloons to save
countless nearly worthy souls

As she stood, very close,
peering in, as best she could,
God, distracted, cleared His throat
and let her in

    I really liked the central, humorous image in this poem (G-d hacking up a ball of phlegm) as a glimpse into heaven. It nearly captures the ethereal of G-d and the slimy existence of his that we live in. . . .

    Yes, I agree with Comedian, this is mavelously imaginative, visual, and paced very well. Good one Hack!
