Her Holy Body
If Christ had a vagina,
She'd have gone to the cross
With a lot less whining.
"Death is easy," she'd say.
"But birth, ahh..."
If Christ had a vagina,
She would have preached less,
Healed more,
Treated Mom better,
And no one would have noticed.
If Christ had a vagina,
Drinking the nurturant blood of Jesus
Would be so much more
Natural.
Those silver chalices already resemble
Breasts with handles.
If Christ had a vagina,
Surely the Roman guards,
After the prickly crown,
Casting lots for her clothing,
Would have done unthinkable things
To her holy body.
