You're Always Passing ChurchesA Poem by N R Whyte
You're always passing churches
pacing before kitchen islands and under coffee spoons. Village churches offer onion justices. City churches hipsters ask forgiveness on music blogs. Childish ripples in pews, half shouts ; you're always passing churches. You're always on beaches walking on un-boardwalks and even on catamarans. Tropical beaches go white go white laugh red. Fresh-water beaches hunters stalk sand between follicles of arm hair. Elephant footprints on waves, milked hills; you're always on beaches. You're always in zoos floating faceless around oceans and onto broken hotels. Provincial zoos make west west west west exotic. Metropolitan zoos brothers fight for diamond vodkas. Flames burst over birds, furrowed monkeys; you're always in zoos. © 2014 N R Whyte |
