Camino de Santiago

The deaf mutes file through churches
along the walled ramparts
on the camino of Santiago de Campostello
listening for the voice of god
At the end
contented
they
carry signs
"The birds sing to earn their crust"
In Santo Domingo
Long ago
The bells fell silent
Traded to the English for cannon balls
The pope sends
Pedophile Polish priests

Children wail
