“Hold me in the holy space
between clasped fingers:
yours and mine.
Let me be the trembling breath,
let me spin salvation off my tongue,
at least let me try.
I don’t know much about
being divine. But I know right now–
this crowded apartment,
your feet propped up on my thighs.
I don’t know gospel, but I know
what your body feels like
from inside.”
