Church of glowing wood

October autumn night

moonlight and street lamps

we gather in the side yard

with friends around a fire

Offer fallen wood to the dark

smell smoke….. incense

for the dead, the dying and those

who tend the dying before it is their time

As folks rise to go home

we offer virtual handshakes,

bank embers, carry sacramental

bottled water and hot dogs back inside
