children at a christian
college made from
bitterness / spite / and hate
they prayed for people but left them
to sit alone at lunch
mission trips should be more than an opportunity
for a selfie and some likes on facebook anyway
I put my bible under my bed and
became a feminist ... I learned to
trust in myself and I tore the barbed wire
from around my neck
but sometimes I still find myself
looking for god,
or what's left of him (her?)
maybe god is
in the wind that is
everywhere but nowhere
the water that is the same
but different
shining in stars above
empty fields at night
in lazy saturday mornings
and cuddles in bed.
