The Only Museum
by this point you must be hungry
for God not the real thing only
flecks of gold paint the marble bust
of a half-bull half-man
today I took a visit to the only
museum and every last gallery was
packed with snow I mean this
literally the whole place
frozen I didn't stay long
I was worried about melting
the art I touched my eyes lightly
to each flake and when I left
the museum I believed a bit more
in God the strangest thing was
I never shivered I knew love
the whole time
– Ben Purkert (2019)
