Homeless




Hoc…
Deacons careful hands
Lay white linen
Crisp, over the bread.
Hoc est...
Rich velvet rope
Barring the apse;
The elements reserved
In gleaming gold.
Hoc est meum…
Ruined flesh
Prone in coffin cardboard;
Careful hand tucks
Blanket sacrament.


Hoc est Corpus meum,
Homeless

Interesting. I would like to know more about this though. I'm praying for you all!
