sunday mass

i see sadness
in the church, the crowd bent
towards
the door
weighed down
by guilt and shame
pouring in
their pennies
to be free and clean
again.
i see sadness in the priests
feeding
them wafers
and wine.
all the while hiding beneath
the gold,
the shine,
their tattered cloaks,
their doubt filled minds.
