a series: questions you wish you were asked
5.
happiness in a yellow ray.
sadness in a blue bottle.
compartmentalizing all the ways of feeling.
reading hints like holy gospel.
​
praying you forgive me for all the ways that i am,
and praying even more that you understand me.
kneeling at your alter near burning embers,
doing breast strokes in the baptismal font forever.
​
in the church of your mind,
carrying the weight of memories and knowledge,
i ask you
am i free?
then you slide open the reconciliation screen to give me solace
and say
yes, you are to me.
