She has a new god by Maggie Devers

She has a new god

Maggie Devers

Her god is ecstatic dancing

Surrender to the music, feel the beat in your marrow, your feet planted, the earth holds you, spin with her, faster and faster, until all that remains is pure joy

Her god is Italy

Motorbikes and cycles with bells and churches with bells and 14th century art and a sore neck from looking at domes and gelato

Her god is her children

Soft bellies, chubby cheeks, that divine scent at the top of their heads, bath time, first words, crawling, walking, the rise and fall of a chest, eyes closed, blink and you’ll miss it magic

Her god is poetry…
