Neutral Ground

I stepped into the Cafe
to hear the light soul-music
Sunday afternoon; all the
cathedrals quiet, no bars occupied.

Saturday night now buried,
Resurrection morning headache now past
the afternoon stealthily approaches

The drunk slouches in the door,
the Priest awaits him,
both tired from their morning rituals
they greet each other warmly
and share a cup of coffee.
