Die Feldkapelle

Mary`s little house; no shed of prayer,
But a doll`s church with a small roof aped
                        and bricked as a church

Somewhere in nowhere; ready for the corn
and heavy nailed boots that bend in prayer;
                        iron and thick black paint,

Only the flowers in the jam jar are wilted,
The chapel is older than the crop`s hope,
                        new as the day is older.
