And What of the Moss
by Charmi Keranen
The couple you saw
lying deep inside themselves
their backs pressed into
that tall blue field
their hands touching
the grass and its sway
There was a stolen bicycle chained
to a crucifix
The Born Again don't bleed
or pedal—really
I looked, once, into
those gray polished stones
The woman's lips were moving
The man was closing his eyes
