a sunday washing

they sing,
dressed in their sunday
clothes.

they have ashes on their forehead.
they kneel.

they pray.
confess and repent.

they drop a coin into the basket,
shake hands

and say, peace be with you.

it all sticks for an hour or two.

made holy
again.

then the day moves on

and it's back to being
who they really are,

untrue.
