Found Faith

She told me those were just

kisses

lips

friendly.

Then I knew of my religion

She is a goddess who sets right and wrong

Who could?                  And so

I untied my hair

I let her

my school skirt and hers too.

Her eyes were soulful, cheeks wet with my tears

couldn’t embrace her

Wholeness

Holiness

We switched

The light from the fluorescent bulb cast through

the gaps between the metals of the double-deck.

 

I thought it should

I thought we should

turn it off.
