Day 464: Right

---

 

∴

 

loneliness can incite religiousness
in a person for all the wrong reasons.

so too,
fear is a zealot
by trade.

 

but this god was not
the God i knew –
he’s the god i got
when i blindly grew

into my age
and “good” identity.
i left the sage
when safety sent for me.

when god became a man
to whom i could obey,
i left that Blessed Woman
in all her starry spray

i traded her for caution
and comfort under roofs
and inoculate protection
became my divine proofs –

 

hell –
i must be doing
something right…

…right?

 

but i am seeing clearer now.

 

return to me
my holy words,
unholy as i’ve been,

and render me
with new sight made
as only heaven sends.
