Discharge

Let's workshop this poem that captures a vulnerable moment in the night life of a tween girl, longing for freedom from the burden of Christian guilt

Discharge

Just before having surged up
from bed in guilt sweat, 
the Lord-frightened little bloom

let her guard slip in a wish, 
on the drooling brink
of damp dreams, that she belong

to some loinclothed tribe 
enjungled enough to enjoy 
never having heard the Gospel.
