good deeds answered

by Jordan Trethewey

“referred to religion, the cemetery where / questions of faith are answered.”

- Louise Gluck, Afterword

I was not referred.

My Faith was faith in Mother to

guide me on the right path—religion,

a neighbourhood on Sunday in the

cold, pointy building beside transitional cemetery.

Golden Rule taught, rarely practiced where

it counted in daily transactions. Questions

arose, from petty misuse of

Mother’s many talents donated in faith,

whether the divine highway we are

on is really paved in good deeds answered.
