spiritual advisor

her spiritual
advisor
tells her what to do.
despite
the fact
he's lost in
the wilderness.
but he's got the collar
on,
the sheep skin
on the wall,
the crucifix
and all the trimmings
of the church
behind him.
so why not listen
and obey,
he's got to have his
stuff
together, right?
hardly. dour and sad,
he ponders
his life, the choices
made, the roads not
taken,
the one he's stuck on.
