God Says Yes to Me - Kaylin Haught
I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

Unholy Women
by Chris Abani
But of course these poems are
about men,
which we become by defining how
we are not women
and
so becoming
a shadow devouring the light to find the limits
which is what Richard Pryor would have told Joan of Arc
in a joke funnier for being sexist
“It’s a man thang.”
And of course there is God
and its problematic relationship to light
not to mention the question
of permission
Who builds the box, the shape?
It makes sense that Jesus, the new man 2,000 years ago
was a carpenter.
You need that craft, the precision of measurement
angles of angels
who incidentally are never women.
Just ask the Romans, who called them Angelo, Angelus
never Angela—
that lie was coined by a dissident nun hiding
her feminism under the cover of rapture
but
is it enough to announce yourself?
To beat your chest in contrition calling
Mea culpa! Mea culpa?
Guilt can never be enough
Mere intent—where is its purpose?
Yet there are no answers
there are only lines that disappear
into horizons that girder us with safety
just as there is no way to end this poem.
