GODDESS IN THE LIGHTNING

by Lisa MoonCat Stormler

​Thunder Rolls and shakes the roof.
I cried out to the Goddess,
Trust Is So Hard!

Then don't. 
She said. 
I'll carry you anyway. 

Lightning cracked. 
I saw her silhouette.
Giant Spider crouching over my house. 

Your tears are my worship. 
Your body has been my temple.
You are me as much as I am You.
