Past Hope by Marcus Lane
Deep-rooted through time
This Norman arch,
Oak-like
Stands firm.
Over-arching
Buttresses and beams
Once wove wefts of
Warm reassurance.
Beneath oppressive clouds
Now a weary spire
Lifts a lone limp finger
Paying lip-service
To a memory.
Soiled latex
Sharp steel
Crushed aluminum
The offerings of straying pilgrims.
Illuminated lettering
The artful work of
New scribes:
God wos ere
