Religious Imagery Quotes

“Snowbound Condemnation by Stewart Stafford

My vigil for a shabby scarecrow,
Cruciform in a snowdrift field,
Its saviour-suited arms clawing
At corvids, frozen heels to Heaven.

Its mouth a wailing O-shape,
Lamenting deafened ears of corn,
Resuscitation for a fool's errand,
In a hysterical chorus of biting gales.

Haunting a sycamore tree, complicit,
I witnessed desolation's spectacle,
Half-expecting a condemned miracle,
This pilgrim genuflected into green slush.
