did god make humans or did humans make god or did humans
raise others onto pedestals
and rest their hands on bible pages
for boys with words that stitched themselves into skin and
girls that held out their palms and had the whole world fall into them and
did they wonder why their prayers were never answered?
did they kiss for absolution
and fuck for salvation
did they read nail marks
and lovebites like psalms
did they take good morning kisses
like communion wine
and did they hate the taste
but beg for the forgiveness?
a god is a person and
a person is never a god.
