Healing

Healing

Pedestals in intricate geometric arrangement
Empty 
since the sculptured gods have run off
seeking glories and adventures
in less structured realms.
Petitioners never notice
leaving putrid mewling remains
sacred sacrifice
rotting stench to keep the altars
holy.
Out on the playfields
breathing in hearty exercise
laughter expanding lung strength
crying leaving damp rich soil
incremental mineral deposits
essential to health.
