Like the proverbial
She sits
Hateful as one
With a silly sardonic smile

She makes saints cuss

She has stained the glass
Of every window
Into my soul

Brimful and doubting
Yet quietly sure
I was doing right

I am no saint
I am a saint
He loves me
He loves me not
The age-old riddle

In quiet afternoons
The church is musty
Half-sung hallelujahs
Echo in the rafters;
Angel voices
Only heard
By those with ears

Punisher
Sh
You are
Punier
Than I ever realised
And I do not accept
Your damnation
