God Once Loved a Woman

God once loved a woman
Her features soft and german
And one day after sermon
God followed her home across the George Washington
Where her blouse caught the sun and her eyes lit up
Like she recognized someone her son ran passed the window
He reached through the thin smoke and touched the yellow glass
Through the cold burning past
Now all the boneyards tremble with her name
He felt her in him growing
He wanted her to know him
So when it started snowing
God spoke to her from

The path train platform
The ground it shook rats ran in swarms
And scratched and clawed and through the fog there rose a form
He said you are the most beautiful thing that I made
And he watched her face twist and melt towards the shade
Now all the boneyards tremble with her name
Something’s there you don’t care its unfair
It’s a drain still clogged up with her hair
Don’t you get the concept you ain’t slept
It’s a dorm where her things were once kept
