The day heaven escaped
Hell did too.
And you, all gentleness and piety
stood behind the altar
fingers pressed
to the folds
of a Bible.
Praying for a way out.
Praying to know the end
of the story
you started
with Amen.

They should teach them in Nun School never to start with Amen!

My husband was raised Catholic and doesn’t anymore. I was not raised religiously. Our kids are heathens, just like me. It’s alarming what has been/is done in the name of religion. So much hypocrisy.

I really loved this one. The end hits me hard, even though I don’t have a religious bone in my body. It’s beautifully crafted. Well done.
