Biblical certainty 

“It’s not biblical!” the priest would thunder
“It’s sinful! Abominable! Wrong!”
but Agnes would sit there
in her pew
picturing him
with nothing on

“It’s not biblical!” Mother Superior would declare
“It’s ungodly! Wicked! A sin!”
but Agnes would read the Song of Songs
in bed
and make her body sing
