Sunday after Tuesday


We sat in the church and he cried

They said they'd stand with us, but I couldn't believe it 

Even my friends abandoned me 


The minister says there's a little hope fledgling at the bottom of the box, ready to take flight

He is well-intentioned

The minister's assistant cites Dante's Inferno

She says she doesn't have much hope

The forest is dark, and the leaves keep falling 

She'll try to do good anyway
