Hang on to that mental health, folks!
It’s nice to have
A doom hanging
That is no doom.
Just an orange
ready to drop
Knowing, God, would
Really be good.
The way, or at least
the people to ask.

When I saw that I understood
that he spoke to you alone
but I didn’t understand
much else
Ghost Train
Slows
Stops
Waits
Leaves
Futility
Managing the world of perceptions
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.”

The fallen love sunk deep within,
shimmering, glowing for God
My Ash Wednesday Confession
Oh, God’s up there!
He’s asleep at the wheel,
but He’s up there.
We argue about who’s screwing it all up,
me or Him.
I say it’s Him.
