The Church of Reconciliation, 2008
Liebe is nicht nur ein Wort
said the Minister
and when the baby was baptized
the holy water dripped on her head
we watched with anticipation…
The cold air came right through the walls
as if we were outside I shuttered
rubbed my hands together
saw my breath in front of me
this distinguished youth had a life to attain…
Where now has the silent supper gone to
only etched into walls
remaining underground out of reach
maybe there is not the lapse in time that we reasoned
formerly thought to be so far away…
