her religion

her religion
is work.
she has no time for God
in her life.
(what if there is no God)
no time
for prayer or to listen
to that inner
voice.
there is no ship to right,
she believes.
there are too
many things to do
than close her eyes
and kneel, put her hands
together
and ask for forgiveness,
for direction,
for thanks,
to see the light.
it's work, then death,
then darkness.
