Sunday Mourning

Sunday Mourning

I've broken all ten, to be sure
at least tried

Reverend Angel
can you see me?

I would hide my shoes
pretending them lost

There were egg cartons on the back wall
much, as on Hee-Haw

Pretty, pretty little white church
45 minute altar calls

Just As I Am
Without One Plea

Benches of wood
felt of hard cold steel

Winter-spring
summer-fall

It burned to the ground
I

Was nowhere
near there

That summer
night

1968
July 13

3:14 a.m.
Sunday Mourning
