Across, a cross.
Click to enlarge

i like the things that go unspoken
between you and me,
like the night we spent on the beach
lying cramped on a shitty, five-dollar walgreens towel
with another frayed over us,
and hearing the string 
of intoxicated teenagers walk by and say,
look
they're watching the stars at night.

we were romance, we were god,
and i know i must believe in god
because of the feeling building in my bones
when i see those "jesus saves" signs,
black with white lettering,
bordering the highway.

i feel a sense of peace
when you hum off-key to your songs
and your black truck blends with the sky.
you feel like a saviour when we're
caught in each others' arms,
but we'll only get to heaven
if we make it through the night.

and if only i could,
i would show you the scriptures
i've penned to express
the buoyancy you've rebirthed in me,
giving me a new easter to 
find myself thankful for,
as i draw out my beliefs-

my religion is poetry,
and in you 
is where i keep my faith.
