Epiphany at 12
While on my way to church
I was often tempted
to wander by the creek
to scare up some green snakes.
But I sat in pews choked
by unholy perfume,
tried my best to believe
You could be in that room.
Not even Our Father
could save me, Hail Mary!
I forgot half the words,
and heard Hell was scary.
I was praying that You
were well rested that day,
and hoped that You’d listen
to the way that I prayed.
I tried hard to believe,
so I thought we should speak,
went to meet after church,
down the hill, by the creek…
But a young girl was there,
sitting at the creek bed-
my prayers were answered
by an Angel instead.
