no room of words
holds so strong bonds
to stop old holy songs slow growth


o LORD show no shallow cracks
no not gods hollow call
break the stone in half or not at all

or stood moving away chairs
before the clap of bibles follows you home
leaving a trail of hallelujahs
(you sat) i stood;
arriving at the root of mumbled thanks
after a stamp from the library led me away
