Lets Pray On Our Elbows
lets pray on our knees
and ankles
elbows and knuckles
and repent
red clad priest coughs
blue blood
cups full of wet kisses
he will come again
in the last days
yellow butterfly hangs
by the thread
till they bleed he urged
us to plead
lord in heaven forgive
us please
green ushers walked
past silencing
the little children below
the age of three
