The Day God Left Town
July 9th 2008 22:21
Beyond the bare-arsed brutality of childhood
when God leaves Christianity
in the hands of parents, and grandmothers
faint from their own hypocrisy
young girls burgeon
bursting the singlet, bursting the bra
bleeding on the inside
blossoming on the outside
Breaking their own seals, and
family ties
they go in search of love
via the highways, byways and corridors of
lust
with shameless uncertainty
rivers of unshed tears
Dry eyes are a thin film of moisture
glazing over pubescence
breaking into bloom
dewdrops trickle down the stem
Deflowered for the first time
(fumbles, open petals and flapping wings
but the buzz overpowers the bumbling
and honey is always sweet)
they get a taste for the swarm
yet survive the frenzy
and replant themselves in new fields
the virgin is reborn
when God leaves Christianity

yet survive the frenzy
and replant themselves in new fields
the virgin is reborn
