Sunday bells the clothespin in her mouth
i.v. dripping; the chirping sparrow s one pitch
Mass bell but we are mating
monks chanting the psalm tone of the bee
telling my sins to the priest a fly buzzes
baptism: hand pouring water to light a fire
the Mass priest holds up bread the still point holding bread hands are empty
Allhallows eve: her stub of candle brightens Buddha s foot Allhallows Eve child with Buddha s eyes
Mertons grave bodhi tree scratching the moon
