On Divorce and Mormonism (poem)

On Divorce and Mormonism


She was only twelve
When we left,
Hatcheting away the bindings
And loading remnants of life
In the black Chevy Cobalt.

Within hours
Her sweetness, no more the child of God,
Started saying “fuck”
Fuck this and that
Fuck everything

She spewed the word I couldn’t say
And I cringed,
But I understood
Because I fucking felt it too.
