Patisserie Christianity
Patisserie-like Christianity
Is what I love the most. Why bother with
The rules and burdens, the inanity
Of long traditions and the heavy myth
When you can have incrusted beauty, not
Incrusted doctrine? Start out with a blue
Dome. Shape it like a tulip bulb. Add taut
Gold stars and do not set them all askew.
Emplace them each just so. Rigidity
Of golden, eight-point decorations will
Replace Orthodoxy’s frigidity.
Replace cold laws with prettiness’s frill.
Instead of cherries on the top, the gloss
I’ll have is that confectionary cross.
