The Pieta of Main Street
The road is August-cracked,
dry and dead with frisbees.
In the autumn,
the wind wisks through the trees
and buries
all the broken bottles of pleasing summer
under piles of vicious leaves.
The people, who follow its crooked path,
are crippled with need.
They are lonely for the summer,
and grow smaller in December
when the cold reduces all things to a sharp black silhouette......

We believe in a good argument. That means NO ad hominem attacks. This also includes Pope Francis. Further, referring to him by any other name, may or may not indicate a schismatic attitude, and given the confusion in the Church your comment will NOT be published. Comments are those of the commentators and not those of this blog. You may use a pseudonym... we do... Behave like a guest in our living room and you will be fine.
