Faith


God and I wrestle beneath the space-darkness.
We are naked, and He is perfect, muscled.
My skin mottles with sweat.

I don't even remember before our bodies,
intertwined roots digging into the same
dank turf, looking for water.

My right thigh sinks into itself,
muscle holding its bloodied breath.
I cannot think of winning.
