"Damned Chapel" Written by Mike Linaweaver

damned chapel

the facility chapel 
is a mousetrap 
giant bible bait 
on a 
fat 
bone of the earth 
pedestal 
rising 

Jesus 
the consummate actor 
staring 
from the confines 
of a cheap frame 

crushed crackers 
bread crumbs 
yellowed paper 
mixing with 
the corpses of 
spiders 

empty walls 
the color of phosphorescent 
overhead 
lights 

suck up 
the last 
humanity 

paper snowflakes 
on a fake Christmas tree 
stand in 
for winter 

the courtyard 
is empty 

it takes a whole lot
