Baptismal Showers

A chorus

of sweet confection

and fermented melody

drips down slowly

through the clouds

--

She waits

patiently

with open palms

collecting the screams

of heaven’s children

singing praise

upon their lord

straining vocal chords

flying with broken wings

chained to golden gates

shackled to youth

without its innocence
