the schools were all busy like the prisons and the hospitals
- we weren't ill but, rather, made patrons,
and as patrons, we were made ill -
as full as the leather bags
below
mummy's eyes.
crucified en masse -
as though in mass
the reverend Beelezebub marks her third sermon
in some fusty hallway
a hundred years ago.
