Interrupted Charity

“NOTHING WHICH WE ARE TO PERCEIVE IN THIS WORLD
EQUALS THE POWER OF OUR INTENSE FRAGILITY”

E.E. Cummings

2 dead
at New Life
megachurch
religion on a hot tin roof
capitalist devotion
mercy ministries
toxic highs

oh
you’ll never be alone
a jesus cross around your neck

perhaps I could believe
but the doors were locked at midnight
not allowed to spend the night
with two small, slim crosses
flashing lights
air that was torn and sucking
as the shooting began
