Cathedra

Cathedra

I steal from churches
I steal wax from candles
In Catholic churches.

Start.
you said, popping a moment
from a sprue that you had
confessor coughed over and out
and I said

kick kick kick kick
stick me in a little ground
I might get roots
then you'd get roots
too

and then stick yourself
in a room
with tape
and see what you think.

the confessor had his coat on
breathes like a bike pump.
the blue yellow blue yellow
Nicotina slump-lungs:
My Donna oh
she shapes with wax
that clip clip clip clip
shapes with what
I stole
too.

shapes trees I ask her
do you make things from them?
are they just for sticking pins in?

she says
I lick churches. you?
