That Time I Met God

At eight years old, I met God.

Filling my senses, filling my body.

Against the empty pews, I cried,

This is good, God is good.


God burrowed himself into me, 

Splitting my body in halves.

Panting, sticky and wet,

Like the clouds of the heavens. 


At eight years old, I met God.

He demanded I repent.

Come, come, come for me, he growled. 

So I cried, this is good, God is good. 


God reached back and struck me, 

Once, twice. Again, again.

My body naked and pure, 

I'm becoming born again.


At eight years old, I met God.

God is good, but God hurts.

God grunted, digging his claws in my skin,

And I was baptized from the inside.


God remained inside me, even as he exited.

Taking the form of a piercing ache.

He took me by the shoulder and spoke, 

Not all gospel is meant to be spread.


So keep this secret, okay?

Reading this evokes a rage that simply overflows from my vessel leaving only clarity and the will to destroy yet the vessel remains feeling like a wolf devouring itself.
