Priestly styles of serving communion
F snaps it, presses the host with his forefinger into your waiting palm.
JMJ pinches its outermost edge, then releases it to drift,
this manna, this angel wafer in the wind.
The priest at St. Mary’s pulls it back, cards to his chest.
He stares skeptically until you’ve said your “Amen.”
Prayer for Ash Wednesday
Please, my soul
has gotten rotten.
Help me, Lord,
to heal it true.
