1/20/21

blow out



covenant within the mild
pressure of hands
pressed together in prayer

holy promises last only as
long as you’re told
to stay on your knees

when whispers wander
away from the sacred
words read from text

a lazy sign of the cross
will not heal the
broken god lying within

one look to the sky with
eyes shading towards black
and the stained glass blows out

so many restrictions among
these pews of hypocrites, so
many freedoms outside the door
