The Poisonwood Bible

Holy days do not matter.
It seems that Father needed
to counterfeit enthusiasm.

Four men performed
(there weren't any women.)

Father managed to kill God,
hopping into church, carrying
whole, dripping legs,
more or less our daily bread.

The women at the door
hold up our dinner -
we could get by.
