haiku

throwing sticks
for St. Christopher the Patriarch
gets a tennis elbow

-

badminton
on The Holy Mountain - a novelty
long prayed for

-

dead and smiling
the elder left his shoes
under the bed

-

lifting up his sticharion
the Patriarch cools his feet
in the sea of unchange
-

raging against
tight trousers the Patriarch
calms down on frankincense
