Amen

The wafer dissolves on my tongue

and thirty minutes later among

stacks of books and a lonely ashtray

the song pushes out a heavy lung.


I believe in creation, even though

god appears to me as real as a dead crow.

I take my son to church every sunday.

If god were real, he'd want it that way.
