Figuratively Speaking

Figuratively                                                Speaking


   What do you want me to do!                          I want you to read to me

I yelled                                                       I "said"
at the top of my lungs                                  to my dim-witted husband
resting my elbows on my knees                    turning my head away
hands over my ears                                     to drown out the noise

  Why don’t you do that for me?                        Because you didn't ask

I kicked Jesus to the curb,                            (Figuratively speaking)
So what if                                                    He believed words that
I was baptized,                                            drowned hearts
I read                                                         The book,
beautiful words                                            become justified
to her naked soul                                         The steady drum,
trying to fill                                                  His voice
cubicles of space                                          fills my head,
in our overflowing                                        existence
bathtub;                                                      And that we share.
