Zion Poem by James Andrews

Zion



I stop the car behind the church.

Hear the fan, my ticking engine cooling
Comforts, fills the alternate of silence.
I stand before you all
And listen for the calls of birds.

My body aches.
I bend with more resistance
Than I did the year before.

With small, slight moves
I brush the stones and branches
From your faces.

The sun makes rivers of my hands.
