truth n righteousness fam...its me first time here in a long time under a new misnomer. I hope you all enjoy this piece.
Theology
theology was the sun-like
worship of your breath
against the back of my
heart…the feel of your
voice prodding me
along burnished time
and eternity.
You left me settled and
Slightly detached from
all that is wrong in the world.
Marriage was me joining
My heartbeat with the in-seam
Of the rise and fall of your
Exhaling…you were fresh…something
That defied my inner demons…you
Pushed and pulled the freudian slips
From my speech and allowed me
Room to just be…
Death was brandishing my
Life…my desires against
Rocks…some proverbial Prometheus
Chained for all time…you ate my liver
With each waking morning and inserted
Fresh batches of sonia sanchez'd
Phrases and haikus between my
Thighs…causing me, a man, to
Give birth to poetic living…this
Sapphic existence that began framing
Our world.
theology was me…submitting
myself beneath the not-so-conservative
authority of love…theology was me
learning how to embrace your essence…how
to love you.
