as close to praying as it gets with me.

oh
my
god

why aren’t you sitting on my
bedroom floor right now,
watching me
do nothing but
watch you? who are you
that i cannot wait
to meet your family, that you can
make a poet unable to
find words that form coherent sentences, and
what did the angels say
when god made you
more beautiful
than they are?

i wonder if they committed the same
of the deadly sins i’m sure i will give in to
on account of your body and the way
that it moves

and the way that it moves
me.
