Sundays
a poem
“Heading out?“
“Yeah. See you later.“
Shutting the door behind me
I leave and cleave
Gather and scatter
Coming and going
Like breathing in
Lord have mercy
Breathing out
Christ have mercy
Practicing the patience of
Unanswered prayer1

“…the patience of unanswered prayer” comes from the hymn by George Croly, “Spirit of God, dwell thou within my heart.” 1854. Trinity Psalter.
