God’s fools congregate
in the hall of absentees.
Let you in, late.
Let you out, please.


In case you wondered, here “fools” doesn’t mean idiots but jesters or innocents

Dreaming of cathedrals
you float through the cold.
Why did Sunday run away?

Spirituality is not

Spirituality is not
a gift shop.
Not yodelling or mazes
or crystals or church.

A reluctant noun,
it would rather be
a private verb,
a silent move
like go or flow
or sting or stray
or love.
