This Suspension

This suspension has passed
Below the astroturf mat
Genuflection was not refused
The vault capping a broken tooth

Pilgrims silent, pink roses in hand
Thumbing smooth stems where they can
Lipstick-licked petals preserved
Unnaturally but well deserved

This suspension has passed
Below the astroturf mat
Casket closed and the rosary
A brief dwelling in misery

And this was what she was to us now
Tastes of thin communion
Only registered in the throat
