an outfit that fits me

Words by Jacqueline Sampaio

I was born a Christian
I grew up in disbelief
For each day a belief
a God
a fable
until there are none left
between fictions and miracles
exu found me
and I went back to the origins
of the African blood that runs through my veins
even me, selfish
find some god that serves my purposes
or until I'm the goddess of my own temple
