The Cathedral Made of Gargoyles

by John Kendall Hawkins

Time is running backwards / And so is the bride"

-Bob Dylan, "Ring Them Bells," Oh Mercy!


.

A. Pox on Your House

The Gargoyles still can't come inside. Even

though God is dead, he (lower case) left all

his spells and tricks behind. The cathedral

is scaling over, gargoyles from "heaven"

have broken out like chicken pox, and soon

will need a Big Pharma home visit spike.

Gs have been texting each other, a psych

has been called in to hmm hmm and soul swoon.

Thing is, there's nowhere to go any more
