LOST APOSTLES FEED IN THE CENTRALIAN DUSK
Kerbed by obedience
to the set carpark
like lost apostles
tamed to their cage
as the habit of creatures
is to come right out
in gathering packs
at dusk with all
their hunting eyes
shining with
the sight they
want to raise over
their own nose
having heard
tell much of
yet hope to see
for themselves
the mighty rock
like a St Thomas
first disbelieving
without a sight of
the red red wounds.
