Jesus said, Do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or drink. Or about your body,

what you will wear. So you cleared
your cupboards. Lay naked on the shelf

where I found you. I mistook you
for a loaf I had prayed for. You let me

take you in my mouth, and I binged
on your flesh. Both of us—unaware—

we should have prayed for love

instead of crumbs.            Still now, small

morsels of you

                               on my tongue.
