How to Build Cathedrals
after Cildo Meireles
To think, when the Cessna’s
wheels bumped the makeshift
runway, women-folk walked
uncovered and the men knew
nothing of their godly duties.
I started them on the Gospels.
Marianne instilled the finer points
of feminine deportment. Before long
they knew the principal scriptures
by heart and could recite the Hail Mary
in the perfect broken English
our predecessors bequeathed them.
We’ve had a number of successes:
children wake afraid of God’s wrath,
ladies wear brassieres and the gents
cease gambling on the Sabbath day.
In the last sermon before hurricane season
I say, tapping my breast, this is a church.
