St Benedict’s edicts
Whom time repealed
Archaic, mayhaps draconian
Strictures governing shoe removal
And hand hygiene amongst priests
Whom breaded flesh grasp leavened
Glory uproarious during the offertory
Droning gospels like distant hornets
Before the monstrance
Iconic Ur-consciousness
Golden incense censers furling
Redolent furlongs afar
Farflung by Boreas, well-lunged.
Alchemisland
