Dawn

In an empty Cafe
The morning sun splits a table
Between night and day.

Altar Boy VI

Serve Communion
To those who are not worthy
The unwhole billion.

Altar Boy V

Only to rise and
Follow father confessor
And stand at his right hand.

Altar Boy IV

He rings the bells three
Times like Peter denying Christ
He thinks himself free.

Altar Boy III

With his sullen face
Empty eyes, lip-syncing Latin
He is far from grace.

Altar Boy II

Looking Innocent
But sneaking altar wine and
Being insolent.

Altar Boy I

An altar boy kneels
The cassock's hem dirty and
Gum stuck to the heels.
