Sunrise Service
“Ordinance §75–4A(1) Noise may not be audible beyond the property line of the premises from which it emanates between the hours of 10:00 p.m. — 8:00 a.m.”
Cars line the Sunday still
of our narrow urban street.
No church bells toll
to seek our souls
to call us to attend.
Divine City Ordinance —
only quiet prayers
waft our shrines of sacred sleep,
like lilacs’ scent,
to fill the snoring air.
