the limestone fence is crumbling
the old church, boarded up
the dilapidation process began years ago
cobwebs stretch across the vestibule
the pulpit
the pews
smothered with dust
the grieving is silent
the emptiness, consuming
no compassion
no absolution
infested with ghosts
blending with the landscape
all but forgotten
subjugated by nature
