The Church

The oldest in the city,
erected, on the city hill.
The façade: bell gable,

small rose window,
trefoils, a prothyrum —
enriched with effigies –

and two stone figures.
Inside one can see over the altar
back to the beginning

of spirit-opening times.
It is possible to see through glass
walls, open for the free.
