The Church in the Sky

This morning

I walked to the church in the sky

 

Cement walls topped off with

A layer of brick

Rippled tin roof held on top

Secured by bamboo shoots

Windows arching,

Drifting in the clouds.

I went to the church in the sky

 

Women wrapped in skirts

Buttoned up men

Songs of great joy

Conductor up front

Hide-covered drum,

Among the heavens themselves.

All in the church in the sky

This morning
I walked to the church in the sky
