THE PILASTER

Elizabeth Madox Roberts

The church has pieces jutting out Where corners of the walls begin. I have one for my little house, And I can feel myself go in.

I feel myself go in the bricks, And I can see myself in there. I'm always waiting all alone, I'm sitting on a little chair.

And I am sitting very still, And I am waiting on and on For something that is never there, For something that is gone.
