I build cathedrals in my mind
Not the bright and shiny kind
The sort that sort of take up space
Obstructing from amazing grace
How sweet the ground beneath my feet
Sacred summer, sacred street
Where it ends an apple tree
Where I was stung once by a bee
Baking soda for the wound
Rotten apple, rotten mood
Bees do sting and men eat fruit
Generations point and shoot
They’re long gone now says the odds
New cathedral, different gods.

Deep and beautiful. I find myself longing to know the inspiration for this piece.
I love this! I like how you depicted how things are passed down from one generation to the other. Same, same but different.
