Church People

hello member,
whose face reflects mine
hands meet warmly together—
carefully, not to reveal 
the truth that lies within.
but take a look 
everyone is glad.
so come now, 
let us sip in remembrance
of Him.  

brother, 
my heart sinks. 
you don’t look like me.
i want to share my delight
the solidity 
of this hallowed place. 
but you don’t. 
so i’ll just sit here
in the back 
seeking the mysteries 
of Him.
