Apostles

(A description of like minded individuals).

We laugh and tell them we’re Pago-Buddhists,
devotees, a membership of two
celebrating the change in season,
content not having that which others seem
to take for granted.
Coal jackdaws dance along your arm
as we meet to face the teachers from our past,
my spilth of words decanting silently
from a pocket hole,
will leave a cryptic trail
for those that surely follow on.
So let’s measure each other’s faith with jokes,
rub soap beneath our fingernails
and choose bright robes to don.
