Heathen

Your nails and bolts formerly lingered  

in sweat-blistered palms, dripping  

over anointed clay. Windows were  

made to face the steeple. The roof  

shielded fire. The walls were even  

painted white, soaked in water,  

crucifixions, and demon pesticide.



But the pathogens have managed  

to fill crevices. Lucifer's graffiti stains  

them now, petrified by Hell's ashes.
