In Heaven

Gramma tells me

God can wash me clean

And I tell her,

(We don’t have a word for this yet - )

Divinity pours from the bedsheets and

I have felt

Euphoria

In all its purity

This is the only way we will ever see ourselves in heaven:

And we were Buddha

And we were Jesus

And we were Allah

( - except perhaps, religion)

--- Second paragraph inspired by a poem by Audre Lorde, all rights to the “And we were Buddha / And we were Jesus / And we were Allah” portion go to Audre Lorde ---
