kirchen kirschen an der kander

21.11.12

if any is without sin, let him throw the first stone

transgressions marching in the service of the king,
scarlet & brass shining.
the pipe keening & the drum leading
the marching parade
to my doorstep.

the king's army takes my stones one by one
to build a safe house,
a grace house,
a harbour for those the law condemned.
a harbour for the fallen,
the ships come and go.
