Never Alone

fighting to be strong on my own
made from the rib of his bone
they throw their sticks and a stone
a crucifix & “ATONE!”
 
I am Eve’s daughter
clutching Eden’s clover
snakes whispering on my shoulder
 
praying that SOMEWHERE
after atonement
there is a garden of paradise
another land of milk and honey
another MIRACLE where water turns to wine
I have FAITH in the devine
 
they may have called me  
Delilah or Jezebel
but today,    I am Anointed!  
 
I will be the LAST cursed womb
birth blessings like baptisms
cleansed crimson
ready to “tell it on the mountain”
Plant my rainbow flag like I reached the top of Everest  
I am above their prejudice  
 
He was the king of the Jews    
and I was the Queen of Sodomy
Dodging brimstone    
because they couldn’t see the God in me    
like I’m Judas’s progeny.             
 
Homophobic soldiers pierced eyes    
like I’m only birth thighs    
from a distance,    
met with resistance.    
 
Mad because they couldn’t nail me.    
Hateful like if I crossed them.    
Left to be shamed but I arose again.    
She was my rose and friend.    
 
Told them a man can penetrate me
but only a woman can penetrate my heart.
 
I was in her praise,    
the way she’d gaze.    
I was blessed.    
 
Told too many times that I need to confess.    
Asked too many questions
about the way I was dressed,    
clothes too baggy for my breast.  
 
Was a lie  
to embrace his strong arm and sweat,    
to let him prod me like meat    
serve him as King.    
when my Queendom was full of love    
when my Heaven was in her arms.    
 
You can call me a sinner    
but her kiss is forgiveness.
