a church as a burden

administrative expectation

the artistic expression

queasy admiration

for the ancient

flesh

ghost

book

drone of sermon

abstract stained-glass

wrinkles on forehead

should all feel

more important

light a candle

run a finger

over too-new

wood veneer

the space

hollow

and the lack

suits you

yearning for

beyond-bored

not sure

the

spirit self’s

here

is all
