Open the door
and inside, the bible and prayer.
I hear all the words and sprout leaves.
I don’t want to bear more fruit
but I’m torn. Knowledge
of good is a good thing.
Outside the stained glass a bird flies
abandoning me
to join with others freed
east above the rolling hills of man.
My friend said Blakean: A Poison Tree. I'm happy Blake wrote that one.
