plasters fallen off
stories carved on the walls
the author remembers
the virgin passion
needs channelling energy
never circumscribed
battered circumcised
bloodied within the four-walls
needs retribution
rain thunder black clouds
wanting to drench thirsty souls
quench their fire and flesh
sparrows hop and chirp
chanting on an ancient hymn
saintly dawn descends
