Resurrection has no
Symmetry. The path is
Messy. Abstract grappling
With right
With wrong
With hope
With faith
Can’t keep a good
Man down.
Surrender. Trust on the
Road to glory.
From the ashes,
Risen.

See the quilt here.
Every quilt does not demand a poem
Just as
every poem does not demand a quilt.
Sometimes, it’s just bright yellow lines
Crossing over a sea of variegated blue.
Radiance separated from a crucifix
But abundant with grace.

See the quilt here.
Lightning slices jagged pieces
from the heart
in bone deep anguish
over society’s sad
State
of Affairs.
Politics, the Constitution,
war, peace,
Famine, rot,
abortion,
rape, bigotry
Thunder across web pages
and social media
and
Print journalism
Stealing our souls in
unethical
moral breaches.
