The Bardsdale Methodist Church

I.
The Bardsdale Church bells
ring every Sunday
at ten a.m.

Cars park in
orchards and fields
and by the old school.

Basement rummage sale
ten dollar chair
Score!

Ring the bells
it's Sunday.

II.

At Christmas the
bell choir rings
the bells
and the old
bones quiver
and come to life.
Comfortable
incense and
stone-smell.

There's cookies
and punch in the
basement.

Colored
light
warm
glow

Christmas.
