  6. I used to be a altar boy in the late 70s and I do remember four sounds: the bell, the gong, the little bell of the collection punnet and ... the whispering of wine and water. Most of the ministers had told us before: less water, more wine. What a sort of secret was that? You see: this haiku opens wide ...

    Behind the church--
    the sanctuary flame
    of a lighter

    Best wishes
