Spaces empty – v3


spaces empty
familiar, yet forgotten
new faces where they sat
not seeming to notice
to ask where they went
the names of the members
what slight had sent them
leaving this place
to worship at another
who would replace them
to fill the coffers;
a body dying
too many dividing lines,
wondering who
will save them
