How many deny their religion
because it doesn’t say the name
God? How much is wrapped,
hidden, and shrouded,
like a burlap bag
over the condemned man’s head.
Dogma is human, thus precious.
The sacred is profane.
The intangible grows
uninhibited beneath the feet.
Aren’t you nervous?
The grass always
needs to be mowed.
