Unwritten rules measuring glances supported exclusion
clanging cymbal
regular meetings forced joy fake freedom
white-washed sepulchre
permitted gossip disallowed vocabulary frequent favoritism

hears the Creator
knocking at their hearts
and rolling over
tightens their blinders
and adjusts their earplugs
unbound brokenness ignored sin weeping Maker
unchecked fall
