Mormon Witching Hour

You baptized me in white one night,

Dipped me in a pool of glass,

Raptured applause to accept me and

Jesus.

Your claws at my dress.

We could have done it.

Lived in their disillusionment,

Built a house with no ground to stand on.

But I had seen it crumble and fought for a truth that destroyed

Then Rebuilt You

In a home I’m not allowed in.

Now I am trapped in a house my mother stole,

Chewing her food for her.
