Literature Text

In the shop of healing
spools of thread
lie on work tables
ready for use
in a war against minds.

Unstable people
find trinkets
on shelves
in new-age shops
to hold themselves up.

Pewter angels,
rosary beads
and plastic crucifixes
are stacked in display boxes
labelled 25% off.

Brochures market
plastic religions
as weapons
against fears
with flesh.

At home,
kit-set dream-catchers
are strung across windows
to collect nightmares
on the run from daylight.

The city sleeps
with purchased
good luck charms
hanging
over doorways.
