Looking
for something to lean on
there was God,
hovering over me,
saying if I didn’t surrender,
I’d never get peace
By then I’d hit my wits-end
with god, the all-knowing patriarch.
I told him to fuck off,
swatting away his spirit
like a cloud of gnats.
He floated off laughing
like, I’m not going anyplace buddy
last week the bottom
dropped out again
like it does everytime I land
I was looking for something to lean on when
there it was--
lines of light dwelling in despair
I tried opening my heart
to see what it was,
and something else stepped in
vast, and occupying space
without closing in
I started feeling like
I’d been seen
by something androgynous and free
something inside of me
