Tonight's Poet Corner: God's Special Recipe
God's Special Recipe
by Belinda Roddie
you are beholden to
sweet, sweet religion,
the confectionary precision
lingering like sweating sugar
in your mouth
your distemper is assuaged
by the thickness of the Scripture,
savored in one serving
on a spoon
once you taste it, your sinuses
radiate the heat
of one Lonely,
Holy Word
