The Holy Faithful

The Holy Faithful

A Poem by After the Blackbird Sings

I know she prays to God like a little girl before
She crawls into bed and we worship,
Suspecting all the while that thundercloud rider has been holding out on us,
Displeased by her liturgy of moans as I rest in the paradise of her garden.
What have you denied her that she's pulling my hand towards her pleasures;
And what is it I lack that keeps her praying to you?
