Vision

The young architect
seeking their blessing
drew lines and shapes
upon the parchment
telling the high priests
the wondrous beauty of his vision
of the great and glorious temple

Yet it was the old stonemason
carefully piling stone upon stone
placing pillar upon pediment
who gave them their church

When it was complete
they blessed it
for even high priests trust
their eyes more
than their ears

Books of the Bible

Dorothy knew she still had it
as long as she could recite the books
of the Bible

She would start with Genesis and roll
through
the Old Testament like a whirlwind
take a breath and say Matthew
Mark Luke and what's his name
you know the one

The same name as her second son
or was that Jim

Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,
