I didn’t mean to be mean!

Prayer for Ash Wednesday
Please, my soul
has gotten rotten.
Help me, Lord,
to heal it true.
Words like kernels pop
When you put the heat to them
Deciduous
A thousand leaves are left.
Three are falling now.
My boy, my boy
After all these years,
that you still don’t understand these things!
Today’s lesson
He who waits for what
God does not give
fidgets
Why I never get anywhere
I went looking for
the shoot that wanted watering
but the tiller has sunk
it within me
River of tears
God’s gut channels the grief of the world
We weep ourselves away
Two women in a forest
Our Lady of Guadalupe went north to seek my sister.
Her kindness led her, it was all she needed to share.
I find myself tipping up the flaps of boxes
What am I looking for?
