Kidding/God Valentine

That thing about you being dead
I was just kidding God I had
no idea it would explode that way
you know how I like to poke
at my deepest fears so I enact
the drama of your going away
as if to steel myself for every other loss
but I was just kidding God
you know how I get feeling lorded over
treated as if I have something
to be ashamed of when I know
that you’re my constant lover
and therefore everything is good
if each of us wants it enough
though dear God you have become
a cliché among my people
scourged right out of town
and I’m not kidding God
