Cathedral in the Woods


Pine grove at the edge of town,
a dark cathedral with swaying roof
and ruddy needle carpet.

Two pines make a wide door.
The rest make tall, open windows.
Beyond, the river flows fast or slow
depending on the time of year.

A chapel built completely by the mind
and yet what basilica can claim better?

Hymnals

What a cathedral
Contains, thanks to its gothic
Arches, are choir psalms.
