AFTERLIFE

saying no
what the holy spirit
never taught me

wine glass
my testimony
becomes obsolete

bisexual
undoing
every prayer

hand-me-downs
my sister and I
trade religions

street preacher
I count myself
among the damned

make-up sex
what would have been
grace

stargazing
what I thought was a miracle
now a mystery

church bells
the altar no longer
my home
