When peaceful silence lay over all,
and night had run the half of her swift course,
down from the heavens, from the royal throne, leapt your
all-powerful Word;
into the heart of a doomed land the stern warrior leapt.
Carrying your unambiguous command like a sharp sword,
he stood, and filled the universe with death;
he touched the sky, yet trod the earth.
Wisdom 18:14-16

The cold courts
of the fields
curl in
on themselves
beneath designs
of cloud
falling
through
this time of
grey
clawing
branches
against
the dimming sky
of my heart
where I don’t feel you
anymore
but the
bitterly
breezes
over me
through these
lonely courts
of the fields
closing in
this
time of
grey
clawing
branches
against
shuffling
ghosts
of prayer.

So beautiful, Cynthia!
