If We Should Need a God

By Sasha Watson

the first thing is to wait for the rain
to soften
our skin so that
might easily peel the surface
away
and still the blood stays
clinging in our veins
like the fly to
a horse
pulsing and swaying
to stay the rippling body
veins


Unseen Hero

just
when
she
thought
no one

she hid
her face
behind
a mask
that she
hoped
would last.
Once
there
was a
time
before
she
broke
down
and cried.
