STORAGE


When the gate through which the Messiah will come
Was torn down, its shadow was cut loose,
By frail ghosts from the Cockeysville Pesthouse.
They brushed it smooth, rolled it up in brown paper
And tied it neatly with bits of red yarn and twine.
What possible use could it be to rebuild the gate
If its shadow hadn't been preserved?
