Pike

 

Pike resides in Gothic gloom

among the ever-descending piers

in dense silence.


Is the shadow of a ripple.


A Christian life,

shaped to it;

does as God directs.


Has the dark stain of silt.


Sweeps nave and aisles,

never actually grumbles,

swallows the unwary altar boy.


Is custodian of the gravel.
