Sexual Healing: Easter Sunday

mango butter
solid at room temperature
melts upon contact with skin
bette page converted to evangelical
christianity and went to work for billy graham
in 1959 she started my sexual healing
when I was a year old
turned the page to
playboy magazine
she was miss
january
1955

I learned how to type
took avon samples applied
to my neck and her hickeys
were the reason I pledged to
always wear black and why easter
is my resurrection to sexual healing
the cross and ankh at masturbation services
sunrise and sunset

and that lassie collie dog shaved
to rid her cockleburs was
between my legs she ran
under me she didn't
recognize
herself

I've had time
like a train when
something runs up behind you
so fast and you can't stop it
like that lassie collie dog that
knocked me on my ass where sexual healing
resurrects me on easter sunday I am lady jesus
