Their faces never looked worse

Their faces never looked worse
Than when they were lost,
Reading the prompts like letters from god
But no god there,
Not in these thunderstorm worries
Of death here or loss and death there
No, the god still laughs and dances
Over our faithlessness, laughs
In the smallest things, in the invisible,
Tells the lame to walk,
Laughs in the facelessness of viruses.
