Religion Poems
The Cathedral Builders
by John Ormond
They climbed on sketchy ladders towards God,
with winch and pulley hoisted hewn rock into heaven,
inhabited the sky with hammers,
defied gravity,
deified stone,
took up God's house to meet him,
and came down to their suppers
and small beer,
every night slept, lay with their smelly wives,

The Triumphant Entry By Chidi Anthony Opara
by Public Information Projects
The way was paved
With fickleness,
With uncontrolled emotions,
With frenzied hollers

by Mario Odekerken

--
nur Augen,
die mehr wussten,als sie sagten.

The dancing Nuns
by Mario Odekerken
They danced
in silence
across marble floors,
feet so light
it seemed gravity had forgotten them.
Beneath their veils,no secrets-
only eyes
that knew more than they spoke.
No music,

De dansende nonnen
by Mario Odekerken
Ze dansten
in stilte
over marmeren vloeren,
voeten zo licht
alsof de zwaarte hen had vergeten.
Onder sluiers geen geheimen,
alleen ogen
die meer wisten dan ze zeiden.
Geen muziek-
