imperfections

Tangling with faith
edgy
or heavy-handed
.
both palms up, yet labeled
untenderly
an alien & stranger

they see

a quixotic caricature
of
an eager penitent
drawn out
visible

mene mene tekel parson
but
fear is a social construct
long
deconstructed

The Lord looks after his own.
He is not slow as the world counts slowness.
