spring 2019

religion
will not be contained within letters
it will not even be contained within me
religion                                       
in itself                            
can become containment if we allow it to be                     
       I've become a hollow religion                       
seeking the sanctity of hallowed ground                

I'm becoming an empty container
thinking that what I was meant to hold will save me
               stagnant
                            remnants
                                          cling to my walls
I hoard them jealously                                                                         
and don't understand                                                     

perhaps I did once
maybe I never have
