To the Westboro Baptist Church

You come to buy poverty in Orlando?

Who makes a home in dignity’s house, luxury or filth?

Notice: the cow, pushing through the thicket

of the immaculate. Everyone prays

in the temple, but you pray to the elements

of your body while walking burdensome paths,

and crossing dust storms, surrounded

by the smell of dry blood. You buy

poverty with your eyes and pay with words.
