Post

by Samir Knego

All those days in the mailroom

Didn’t prepare my hands to fold

In prayer to something bigger

Though you’d think the webs

Of letter-carriers and parcel posters

Would have taught me something

About scale, there’s part of me

That seems to resist on a matter

Of principle. But here I am

Crossing the carpet to the pew,

Because I want to believe

In believing in something else.
