Cathedral Janitor
the only sound
in the stained-glass stillness
is the swish swish of my broom
but this is what I love—
the coolness of ancient walls
the way the organ glistens
in streams of morning sun
i see a small movement
out of the corner of my eye
i know it’s him, come to see
come to beg a bite of cheese
and God help me, I do feed,
adoring the quiver of whiskers
tiny hands clasped together
i should report the rodent
but i don’t have the heart—
not when his sweet face
implores me to see him
as a member of this place;
he requires nothing but a nibble and promises to pray for me.
