Harmless Sparks   by David Bazan

                                                    
They might have burned but the priests were all taking turns

                                                           
showing nuns what they had discerned about their bodies in the dark


                                        
They carried on from the evening until the dawn


                                             
like they should have been all along making harmless sparks

                              
instead of breaking little boys' hearts      



                                             
And God knows, if you noticed the millions of small holes

                                                               
And ponder the weight of an apple Compared to the trouble we're in

                                                    
Then a grown man might, be tempted to question his   birthright

                                                           
In front of his kids and devout wife Causing the doubt to begin, 

                       
To spread like original sin
