Because It Felt Right at The Time

Because It Felt Right at The Time

 

Long after the poet had passed, I took his book,

the one that he wrote

and an old bible, I no longer required, which was

far too big and heavy ..

To a church, I never once attended, but always

intended to, one day, perhaps ..

Hey, who am I kidding, but that’s where I left both

of those tombs, on a pew

at the front, near the altar and all of its associated

religious paraphernalia ..

And I swear, to this day, I don’t have a clue why

I did that, but I did though ..

     And for a while at least, I’m sure, I felt better for it ..
