The Secret to Everything


by Jerry Ratch


 

You were still holding yourself 

In your own arms, when I first found you 

You were so fresh 

No thunder had ever spoken your name 

No lightning lit up your veins 

 

I continued to have the feeling of you 

Between my dream muscles and my lack of sleep 

I carried you inside me in this way 

Like a permanent seed inside my dreamy veins 

 

And when my hand went searching 

Inside your blouse, I found 

The secret to everything 

I found God
