Devotional (for Samantha)

Better, my love, that you should bless me
Than i should be blessed by any god.

Let me cover you with votive kisses,
My fingertips sing "amen" and "Alleluia"
In slow electric circles over your soft, pale skin.

Fragile ikon, smooth and white
i shatter like a plaster saint when you
Turn your eyes away from me

Grant this sinner's prayer:
one honey kiss before i fall

"I am not worthy...but only say the word."
