Biblical certainty 

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

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