The Week in Renovation: Sunday
At The Future
Home of the New
Church, phoebes
catch paper
wasps on the wing
all afternoon,
their buzzing cut
in the throat.
The old church
burned. Bad
wires or snapped
road lights
made the dark
darker here,
where they say
if you saw
someone walking,
you didn't
see anything.
