WHAT GOD WANTS

god hasn’t shaved her legs in a month / because god loves the body / God gave her / once god broke body for sex with a band member because he needed to believe in something / she praised him but didn’t mean it / she loves her children / even when they don’t know to clamp her nipple with their tongues / god wants her children to know / she is everyone else / afraid and dying / she’s forgotten before she’s known / she’s looking for the friendless / few who understand her / another month the band member finds a better god / so god dips out watches bollywood films / she likes the gods / they give her bodies / bejeweled bedazzled dazzling / god wants her children to know she misses them most / in the dark when she cries / out the names she doesn’t know / on sundays god takes church / in chicken and bubbly / the fried skin so salt of earth god is grateful / for the two friends that eat beside her / that champagne will drink / a drop of clementine and set sun-sweet / god and god and god eat / until the undone sun makes gold / of the oak tree in the yard / the same gold as gratitude
