Unsensational Clutter
Lets all take this moment
to rest the sun on our
faces
look up
and not worry about the
fracture noises
in the back of your
head
as the irregular pinprick
localizations of pain
remind you of folly
dishonesty
but the other way round this time
instead of the great warrior
to them you are
portrayed in oils and inks
by you
as the unknown victimized
without any play
for sympathy
as you waste into this
with your eyes closed
give a seconds effort
to clear yourself
only to witness
what fills
the void slate

W.W.J.D.
I saw a man today
he was dirty and cold
W.W.J.D.
There was a child on the street
she was beaten and scared
W.W.J.D.
A woman was sitting in her car
hurt and crying
W.W.J.D.
We have all forgotten how to be human
we no longer feel sympathy
have we forgotten what a man did for us
He was beaten, bloody, and hurt
but He carried His cross
He took away our sins
so the next time you see someone
be they hurt, scared, hungry, or cold
just for an instant think
W.W.J.D.

Bird Nesting
O wonderful! In sport we climbed the tree,
Eager and laughing, as in all our play,
To see the eggs where, in the nest, they lay,
But silent fell before the mystery.
For, one brief moment there, we understood
By sudden sympathy too fine for words
That we were sisters to the brooding birds
And part, with them, in Gods great motherhood.

Laying on of Hands
Each fingertip drawn across my flesh
Each point of contact
Finds tiny silk threads looping in and out of my every pore
Mingling along the meandering pathways in his palm
My skin stretches and lifts
Heartbeats waft up and out with every breath
I am touched
He touches me
I am a poppet on a string
A semblance of my body animated
Through some magical sympathy
Soon he is a fetish of himself
And our effigies burn
Pixilated from sensation to sacrament
As they say, A visible sign of an inward grace.
Neither here nor there
We dwell in limen
Awaiting
Our speaking tongues to soothe say us into tomorrow
