all that remains
through half-cracked eyes I see the sins of my life pile up like bones of war. some, neatly stacked. do they plan to assemble into something useful? I whimper in thought. the black inkwell I dip my tip into seems dry, but not dead. words head-on collide and crash straight over the table. more bones now, down around my feet where poetry meets the silence of my sin. I wonder if God still knows me... I fear the tenderness of his laughter and love, and the idiot emptiness I create feels like Nebraska in November, and snow poking through the month of June.
