V, IV

V,  IV OR EMPTINESS
OR SHATTERING JESUS EMPTY

Shattering Jesus

paint half gone

kid stands motionless

breathing out I take a sharp breath in

stepping back

closing the door too fast

walking backward too fast

falling down the steps

managing a solid land on two feet

spinning around getting out of the gate,

Just now realizing it is wet

cold

no rain

only a drizzle

a shiver

self hug

walking away.

What I have

What I give

is ignored

ignored by you

the bruised knees

my hearts

lost hearts

not retainable

even a lung is missing

prayers and offerings

not heard

Mutterings of Assumed wisdom Drifting out windows Into Empty Skies.
