i cannot say i am not
what you named me, em.

i have reinterpreted your every word six hundred and sixty-two times over

and

you haven't read--
i know you haven't--
i think--

i don't know if you've read, much, or at all
of
i don't know if you're much familiar with the theology you pasted on me like kindergarten stickers
which have just barely started to peel

and i cannot say i am not
i cannot lie,
i am.

here i stand hymen unbroken christ in my hands and i say to you,
yes,
em,
i am.
the virgin mary

I'm sorry I'm sharing my pain with you again.
I've held my share of metaphorical corpses.
