I was a gardener.

I made art, then didn't.

I built churches, then didn't.

My habit is to leave and

come back.

To learn and forget.

Watching plants grow,

my new religion.

All honor and glory is yours.

I am a capricious priest.

I am not a poet.

Fat slatherings of extraneous

words, vague and gaseous.

Build it of masonry.

Post and beam.

Stonehenge worthy

totemic construct.

Spare me Versailles.
It's me, not you....
