"After Lorca"

by: Robert Creeley

The church is a business, and the rich
are the business men.
________________________________ When they pull on the bells, the
poor come piling in and when a poor man dies, he has a wooden
cross, and they rush through the ceremony.

But when a rich man dies, they
drag out the Sacrament
and a golden Cross, and go doucement, doucement
to the cemetery.

And the poor love it
and think it’s crazy.
