Repentance cannot work alone.
To carry this clarity disparages despair.
Hope is where expectations appear.
Righteousness replaces sin.
If we consider incompleteness a verb
this hasn’t even started yet,
so how will it ever end?

For today’s piece, I dove into the Anne Carson Bot on Twitter. The italicized line and “shiver like a root in the rain” are quotes from the Bot’s twitter feed.
Open the fold where my scrawl falls
beneath its shadowed caul
uncontrolled and unopposed.
It covets chaos
stirring currents through my sternum.
It wants to feel your heat.

Every Friday Jesus walks down 4th Avenue North
carrying plastic bags from IGA.
Sometimes wind spirals his wispy white beard
round the tall staff that measures his stride.
The folds of his long wool coat
move in waves,
like he’s walking on water.
Once in a while, his eyes dance with the sky
and he shouts out,
spilling clouds of syllables
scribbled from his mind.

as overconfident as yarn
I quiver in what’s left
of everything that was
before monsters filled our lungs
with solitary endings

From towering gables to lofty pines
congregated murders capture our collapse,
cawing a cacophony.
Black lustered feathers blink blue
between barren deciduous branches.
They watch us.
And they wait.
