the generosity of a God unknowing

O, God

give me the 

blessing

of her name

on my lips

that raw power

of knowing

that follows

desire,

that darkens the

eyes

so rich in 

attraction

without physical

promise

O, God

give me the 

blessing

of lessons

on her skin

let me learn

her, inside and

out

gift me the

aching sweetness

of her touch

i will be the 

best student

that your holy

night

has ever seen

O, God

give me these

blessings 

of knowledge

and as you 

learn my

name

i will gladly walk

backwards into

Hell, with

every sin you

have awarded

me
