In Heaven
Gramma tells me
God can wash me clean
And I tell her,
(We don’t have a word for this yet - )
Divinity pours from the bedsheets and
I have felt
Euphoria
In all its purity
This is the only way we will ever see ourselves in heaven:
And we were Buddha
And we were Jesus
And we were Allah
( - except perhaps, religion)
--- Second paragraph inspired by a poem by Audre Lorde, all rights to the “And we were Buddha / And we were Jesus / And we were Allah” portion go to Audre Lorde ---
