an angel fell to her knees before me and renounced god
and i felt divinity become me
she sang gospels between my legs
and for the first time in my life god heard my prayers
i pulled her hair
and her halo sliced my palm
so in an act of vengeance and rebellion wrapped in one she reached and snapped it in two
making two proud horns on the top of her head
a final fuck you
i didn't deserve an angel anyway
i plucked the feathers from her wings and sent them back to god
sealed with a kiss
she fell to her knees before me and renounced god
and the words to follow were nothing holy
and through clenched teeth i sang hymns
the words brash and nothing new to my blaspheming tongue
and i called out god and the devil and everything else
and she blushed the colour of my sinful tongue
and she said please
and thank you
and amen
