When passion strikes no walls are safe


There was mortar on your face


We ate our second lunch
in the verdant lushness
of the park at the Cathedral
subcutaneously annoyed
by the paperbag crunching crowd

hungry for more than strawberrries
out of each other's hand
we slipped into the shadowland
of Azaleas behind a supporting wall

I held you from behind
and entered your sacristy
with hymnal cascades
and afterwards
there was mortar
on your lips
where you had
neither gnawed or licked

it was not a sacrilege
but a sacrament
not a blasphemy
but worship
