it's no secret this pastor
preys on the non-prayers and
assumes spiritual dryness if tears
don't flow from the collective congregational pore.
it's no secret i feel like i'm a rape victim as all boundaries evaporate and
the moaning and swaying and feverish ectasy makes me wonder if
i'm witnessing church or an orgie and as i
shut down simply to survive the crawly sense of deja-vu.
i've been here before and i know
wounded people wound people.
it's no secret within these doors god comes to life
in public castration and catatonic response and for them,
their gospel is touchable.
to worship next to closed arms but open bible or
open arms and closed bible-
i have to trust these are not the only two options.
that, that is the secret.
I really like the line "wounded people wound people. that's good!
