Plasticine Cathedral

Plasticine Cathedral 

Warm graffiti covers the walls
A plaque reads:
“Write your message here
It will be heard”

The purple crucifix 
That softest symbol
Your fingers knead it
Leave new dimples

The church whispers,

“Just ask.

Change me.

I might not have an answer

but you can carve your own out of my insides”

The purple crucifix
That softest symbol
your fingers need it
leave new dimples

bend it: any shape
ride it on the altar
people join you, hold you: hold them
or take it to a corner
enjoy it in the dark

This church is as soft as I am
Its walls pulse ‘welcome’

Come feel it
Climb it
Carve it

Love it


Today was a big of struggle.  Here is something musical that doesn't necessarily go with the poem:  

Lines



The Cup

Like yesterday, 'Flowers' was written last night, and this one only now. This was a welcome reminder that it's bloody lovely to bask in some nice chords once in a while.







Peter came to meet me.
We walked in the meadow, fondly talked of youth.
With a light touch, he closed my eyes
and upon my waking, had filled a cup.

He waited, eyes on my lips.
His lips were roses, glistening.
He waited, took a sip.
He wondered what kept me from his cup.

I longed to drink, and
I thought he had become tired of waiting.
I raised it to my lips.
Before a drop could touch, he took it away.

He smiled and said:
“You’re not ready, Love.”
I smiled and knew too well
his drink was poison.


Flowers



Now I have flowers, every day and every night.
Orchids for Lorelei. Roses for Peter. Lillies for Margery.
I throw flowers upon my bed and, for only a night, invite them in.
And every day I take a walk in the meadow, I tear a few pretty heads to strew my bed.
