Shrine of blue and red
candles
sparking at the sacred
profanity
licking
at the guilt
trapped inside of
st. mary's plastic
fallen
-(Jesus)
worshipers
kneeling between a cross
and the crusting of their own
Faith*
doubting existence of
this
{mystical essence}
voices meld into
choruses loud with the penance
of half-
forgotten (sins)
and st. bartholomew
stoops
and dies mid-
Word.
*don't forget to pray
Reason for writing:
this is actually a half-hidden blow at the catholic practice of praying to saints...
