Sanctuary
Footsteps thumping inches
down the ramp
under the stained glass window
gathering Jesus’ sheep
bleating and pausing
forward and sideways
scuffing the first white shoes
towards church
moments on the move
squatting before altar steps
with a devilish glint
in blue angel spaces
a hurried hosanna
reaches like yoga toes
and quickly giggles
with pontificating souls
dropping to knees
rub the foot-trodden rug
measuring worship
in tiny prayer
