Because It Felt Right at The Time

Long after the poet had passed, I took his book,
the one that he wrote
and an old bible, I no longer required, which was
far too big and heavy ..
To a church, I never once attended, but always
intended to, one day, perhaps ..
Hey, who am I kidding, but that’s where I left both
of those tombs, on a pew
at the front, near the altar and all of its associated
religious paraphernalia ..
And I swear, to this day, I don’t have a clue why
I did that, but I did though ..
And for a while at least, I’m sure, I felt better for it ..
