Saint Wife of Lot

I saw my husband offer my daughters / for carnal knowing to the crowd outside / in place of two strangers you are so sure / were angels + I saw that he had lied / about everything + I saw my name / erased from history but still I ran / b/c I saw what he would do to them / alone + I was right—you know what men / can do but yes I turned + saw the fire / a city burned I saw the children burn / I saw the angels laugh at us like dogs / I saw that this would be about desire / or sex so I knew it would be my turn / + so I turned to look + saw your god
