Mark Rothko's Chapel in The Montrose



Rothko To and Fro


The cleric sits in silence;
floating on a wave 
which is not there.

A small girl offers a small gift
to a small God who no longer exists.
But a box of raisins
will not reanimate the deity.
He is just a statue,
now.

The most profound questions
are those which are not
asked.

Heaven and Earth
persist.
The sun brightly
animating our shadows
which must follow us
without question.

The cleric sits in silence;
his singular prayer - 
"Only don't know."
