Subject
Feminism, Religion
Description
In this "open letter", the author expresses their frustration and rage at the Christian God. This may be because of their sexuality/gender identification as they state "I have been a good girl and yet I wander daily as a man...How long must I wait?" The author writes of feeling unheard by God and of being impatient in waiting for Him to answer them. They decide by the end of the poem to abandon waiting and to go "Home" where they can be "everything-that-is". Two images surround the poem, one of a menacing, dark woman figure, and the second of a distressed woman looking up in terror at said figure. This may be how the author imagines their relationship with the Christian God to be, one of fear and confusion rather than unconditional love and acceptance.
