Our Lady of Mustang

Hank Sosnowski

Curiosity drove me here
wondering who would be
worshipping at this temple
on the Lord’s day.

Church lot is full
here at the shrine.
Ranch girls are busy
plying love’s trade
with Sunday morning horn dogs.

I sit parked and scribbling
in the lot between heaven’s gate
and the souvenir shack
which is painted pink
as the sea of flesh
that undulates inside.
Outside, wild mustangs roam.
Inside, wild fillies buck Bronco Billies.

Back at home
mom’s set up
Sunday School.
Here, ten minutes drive east
of all that praying
other prayers are voiced,
“Oh God,
Yes! YES!”
Amen.
