Churched-Up

Those multi-syllabic,
churched-up words:
it's the unpacking
that gives meaning;

taking them off of their pedestal
and shaping them into images
that can be lived in
and loved through,

in both the mundaneness
and the extraordinariness
of our everyday world.

Without that, they're just
museum pieces; relics
from a bygone era

that need to stay
on the shelf and off
our pages and lips.
