Mass (after Cornelia Parker)

The sense of space in charcoal suspended
floating peacefully after the blast of lightning
God's will in a flash releasing the energy
of suns and 80 year old wood the faith
of parishoners and the dependents of the cross
washed down into sweet earth while we watch
the space unencumbered float into fire
into light now here a thousand miles
away looking up into destruction.
