Hill Chapel
by Ernesto Superal Yee

Again I come to you:
bells, burning incense,
twilight hymns,
chapel of my breaking
to hear
measures and measures
of that ancient singing,
softly warm as candlelight
trapped in your colored panes,
now becoming secretive
as fugue,
or of man’s tears
for lives he lost,
regained.
