from "Angelus": the first of the three poems




the Lord is with thee

aspergillum       cat-o’-nine-tails

 

all are welcome       all are welcome

 

& there IS fire!       & there IS brimstone!

 

kumbaya my Lord

 

be it done unto me

according to Thy

 

they made all these changes

it’s not the same as it was

 

holy indeed

& all creation rightly

 

they should go back to the old days

we had respect back then

 

Paul our pope       Humberto our bishop

 

I see some of you are wearing

dungarees in church

I'm looking forward to the second poem, should you choose to post it. This and "among women" are, as always, a pleasure to read and appreciate.
