No Penance

This, the church
enter through red doors
we are stained crimes, dust
the white pews turn black
and sit.
Enter through red doors
drown in chlorinated holy,
white pews turn black as we sit,
we expect white clean souls.
drown in chlorinated holy,
try to scrub off time,
we expect white like clean souls.
This steeple,
try to scrub off time,
we are stained crimes, dust
this steeple,
this, the church.
