The brick church, old Elm Street.
New banners, bright,
for an art fair.
A different kind of light.
The stained glass, heavy, dark.
No color caught.
Just grey panes.
What was once taught,
now just a hollow space.
The sandstone steps,
worn smooth by feet
that walked a different pace.
Sun caught the curve. Nothing more.
