Poem -

Tuesday

He cry's by
A window already sodden
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With rain
Torrents of it obscure
The mountains    Smash
Up the concrete path
Outside
~~~~~
He cry's and cry's clasping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A silver cross about
His neck as if god
Is condensed 
In the airlock between
If I am dubious
I say nothing     Misgivings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Washed away in tears in rain
Nothing moves save
The clock   Cross twisting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In his hands
He crys.   Cry's and cry's
Plants drown
Still crying
I drive him to church that
He might speak more
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intimately with his god
Church is locked   Notices
Grace huge wooden doors telling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of yoga bizzares fetes choir
So on.
The precise time of
Sunday Service   We stand apart
Together lost
In the Tuesdayness of it all

M ~

Church was a big thing with me as a young man. That seems like a lifetime ago now. Nice story.
