church concert

by jan oskar hansen - Scorpio

Church Concert 





The June night was sticky hot and overcast.
Musicians' sweat a river that flooded 
Tiled floors and seeped down ancient cracks
And soaked bishops dry bones and up came
A stink of angst, forbidden thoughts and
Craven wishes. The soprano fainted and fiddlers Fingers lamed. The stillness that followed was 
Only broken by a moan from behind the pulpit 
Where a couple enjoyed the oldest music known 
To man.
