Piteous is a potent word
for unwanted, unfed,
too weak to cry.
In a shit-pit of shame,
lie eight-hundred stains
on Bon Secour piety.
No smiley peekaboos
no gagagagas
stains don’t giggle
In the bowels of Christ
tiny bones mingle
whisper like flutes
until plump children
apple-scrumping
uncover their truth.
