Sweet Potato Haircut

Can we be holy

whole and loved and 

legitimate, even in the shadows

of belief and dogmatic 

horseshit running 

rampantly around?

Can I be given grace

when my heart aches 

and life is longer than I thought

without initiation to the

Righteous Cult?

Please, please

let us be wild,

ungodly and free

bursting at the seams 

with being.
