Prayers in a spoonA Poem by Christopher NortonShort and to the point... Big prayers from the bottom of a dirty spoon. Save me from this life. Make me beautiful and whole again. Soak up the sacramental wine with a ragged ball of cotton. Break my body for you. Just a small crucifiction. You don’t need a hammer to drive this spike home. This is miracles in a fast food culture. Instant gratification. Money buys you all the god you can afford. No waiting for an ambiguous answer. Salvation moves up your arm untill the holey spirit fills you. The tith offered, the ritual complete, we kneel and drop the relics of our faith and our eyelids.
