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
