Dear God,
please forgive me
today
I lied
to my mother
when she asked
me what
‘bukkake’
meant.
Dear God,
please forgive me
I told
my mum
it was
a Japanese
art form
for painting
lilies.
Dear God,
please forgive me
and please
don’t let
her google it
when looking
for art
to hang
in the guest bedroom.
Dear God,
please forgive me
I promise
I’ll start
to believe
if you just
give me this
one
thing.
Amen.
