I met God at a party once

at Eric’s place

                                               You know,  that guy with the horse tattoo

who wore jackboots everywhere

 

Eric had a keg of beer

there was a band called  The Locusts

they were playing “Louie Louie”

my dress was red and my hair was piled up high

and God flirted with me

                                                shamelessly

in a room as white as science

 

he gave me honey and a needle

in sweet pink clouds I kissed him

 

he told me he'd been waiting for this moment

                                           all his life 

I said:  All your life and he said well, both 

 

The Locusts ended with “Sweet Jane”

the way the Cowboy Junkies do it

 

I was young and so naive

and though he promised he would call

                                           I haven't talked to God since

that night at Eric's place

when my white soul first 

kissed the mouth

of sin.

                                         I miss Him 

Bad
