Looking Up
I pass
Plaster football
stadium.
College--
full of life
and lipsticks,
better promises
...a crossing over.
The car
rolls down
a lane
pregnant
with the white
belly
of a squirrel,
face up,
hand extended
over the head
like a wave offering
of praise.
At church
several saints,
like squirrels,
shake
on the floor,
dying once
again.
