Excerpt 1
Getting up at 6 to watch you sing at 7-
You and your choir weave left and right
Like a forest of red trees under the spell of the east wind.
Two weeks ago i gave you money
So you could ride to that place,
St. Pious Holy Baptist Church--”Built to the Glory of God!”--
In your new crimson robes, in your ice blue Thunderbird.
There you prayed the sinner’s prayer:
“Lord Jesus, I am unworthy to walk this earth,
And I know it. But rain down salvation anyway
On my burning flesh--on my rotting corpse.
Excerpt 2
Maura reached to unlock her front door
Of wood and stained glass,
Of dreams, empty hearts, and
Lips unrequited.
A sliver of light between door and jamb stopped her.
She turned and looked at Sidney’s car parked in the drive.
“I’ve told that man a million times to lock this door.
He left enough room for demons and snakes to enter.”
