Heaven |
Oh, Heaven, the next Queens-bound train is two stations away |
From Tredestand, my white gown that curls around |
the harbour fetal-style. |
I never was a girly girl, forgive me! |
From the very back of the church choir |
I am standing, lone alto range. |
Girl in Black. |
The front row clasp their hands now, |
they’re singing with devotion. |
I separate from feeling, complex harmonic motion. |
What’s wrong with their voices? |
I sing like this when I’m at home. |
I shut my mouth and ran away, |
spot out that neoliberal, girly heart |
that held no blood and made no beat, |
just vibrated sweetly in the chest. |
But I’m 33 now, that’s Jesus-age, and girl spaces come back to me. |
I want to sing religiously, you know, airy, more than necessary, |
climbing the ladders just to fall, uncontrollably to Heaven. |
To, Heaven, I’m standing in a graveyard of girls. |
Oh Tredestand, Oh, white gown, |
the tombstones are so tall and hard, |
I want to sit on them, put death inside my body, I want! |
So much death! |
I’m sorry. |
I just want to feel… |
So much death, a hole to nowhere |
