The Odunlade Choir of the Church of the Resurrected Lord  

Your voices inspire the dying stars
they glow brighter and brighter
expanding to fill each tattered space
on tattered earth

My slight detachment from meaning
is lost in the intercourse of sound and light
shrouding your pleas for life and reason

tomorrow’s daily bread must be baked
with scarred hands, clear eyes and clear vocal cords

I drift slowly to sleep
making love to your soloist in my sinful dreams
