apiphile: (maurice)
[personal profile] apiphile
the motherland

Pink and black
the cats' toes walk on snowy slate
the church roof a bulb
that was not buried
for the cruel winter
but which will bloom nonetheless.
when the monks sing
the cats descant;
let us in, let us in
we ask only for mercy
we know only mouse sin
and we have come to warm our feet
in the presence of our god.
