| THE
NEWS
Tonight
I watched the news
There were stories of countries
In the midst of war
People, like you and me
Experiencing the tragic everyday
Having to find food and shelter
Having to find beds in hospitals
The loss of loved ones

UNTITLED
Father, I love You
Thankyou for who You are
God, You're wonderful
You take the weak and make them strong
The weary and fill them up
The downcast and fill them with joy

ANOMALY
Generations,
now, have held to the official line
that our collective soul, ashened,
is destined for some black hole
in impersonal space.
(The pharaoh remains entombed in his pyramid
stuck on the starting blocks.
The emperor and his army are terracotta
and Jesus' mansion is a castle in the air.)

UNTITLED
give
me space
I need to breathe
not
the short, sharp gasp
not
the 'need it now' suck
give me space
I need to breathe

MAYBE
maybe
she's too wild to live
with 'niceties' and caution
maybe
she's a child struggling
with an adults' portion
maybe though her thoughts are free
her joy has felt the knife and
conventions dressed as righteousness
are draining her of life

PSALM
130 - AN ASCENDING SONG
From
deep within, my yearning call
Lord, I cry out to Thee
O Lord please hear my crying
Tune in your ears to me
Has not my ceaseless pleading
Reached up to where you'd be?
I'm in the depths of grieving
Have you not heard from me?
