Style: Cinquain


Stained Glass Pulpit


Her lips

mouthed out prayers

against alabaster

fingers. Brittle spine sinking down

onto


stone.

Square teeth

cut into crimson

sin, tongue seeking out

forgiveness.


Flesh

corrosive, carnal

stretching, splitting, sullying.

Now the works of the flesh are evident:

humanity.
