Acrobat at Prayer

      What
               could be more limber, in the gold-
       edged frame of this cancelled post-
       card from Notre Dame
5            cathedral where
                  hurly-burly
                 God-beware
       people crawl on their sagging knees
            to eat the brittle, little pieces
10               of their savior?
                 A God beloved
            in the house his lovers built for him
                                     after death.
