Poems
Jan 2019
losing my religion
you let him in;
peeled back the layers
of your skin and
showed him your bones
you thought this would
be easy, but he is not
gentle;
he takes your ribs and
breaks them apart as he
builds a home inside your
sternum
[he is no longer the breath
you exhale; he never leaves
your lungs]
he keeps you up at night;
you pray and he does not
answer and you realize that
you are so
tired
of all of
this
“how do you **** your god?”
you ask
[you get off your
knees]
