Day 31 (Palm Sunday)


from the ABC set Lent 2007

Palm Sunday but no church
city farm is where we worship
the muck between the
fabricated cobbles.

There is no need for invention,
in a stable a donkey
snorts dandelion leaves from my hand
warm and wet.

The sun has sprung into April
a wind still cools my muffled torso
and ruffles the white down of wandering
snow-geese.

I feel agnostic.
