when you told your mother you loved me

she mourned for days.
i took a streetcar to chinatown
spent the afternoon
smiling dumbly at
little red slippers
pink and gold coin purses
mangoes.
i never said a word.
something bothers me
in this new world of
dark, beautiful history
where one achieves
rapture
i will never know.
i am not godless
i tell myself
but there is no god in my heart.
i tell you i'm crying because your mother hates me.
that is all i can say.
i can't say
you make me feel godless,
as if my own sorrow wasn't proof-
yes, i feel apart from my god,
i feel that hunger, but...
isn't that something?
oh, but we're past all of that.
