Indiana Jones & Co.

Stained glass sings down to the people
"Love me once more"
but overturned pews
can only be navigated by

that dozen who sat
and contemplated dates
(U.S. shorthand holds so much meaning)

And we were never as deep as
that wonderful rabbit hole
which everyone dreamt of but only we had seen

'we' of course means more than you and I
(lovers at one moment siblings the next)
everything down to the digital face pressed into my wrist
counts on that starry adventure

Because my roof was just one more place
for Indiana Jones and Company

they all stayed
nails to knees to chin
and watched radiance peek into the world
