Twelve Bells In One Mansion

twelve bells in one mansion
(anxiously walking)
this great, gray, greasy
Limpopo stone labyrinth
knowing
 
(you can't get lost)
for God's full well
in the background
gargoyles peering down
everyone comes
 
in the same way
under the stony gaze
(it doesn't matter)
the river flows
as you walk
 
ungently or not
how definite the
outcome
(same old story)
why don't we all
 
come then to ponder
ye shall /find/
(why do we?)
 
—Candace Loheed
