THE FEATHERED PREACHER

Seen
through morning mists
… eerie
and foreboding…
the abandoned church
stands empty
and windowless
beside
the little churchyard
where
the old congregation lay
… now a captive audience
to the new preacher
on the pulpit…
a jubilant blue jay
Content
to just listen
while awaiting
Judgment Day
