Ephesians 5:8-14
Living in the Open Takes Practice
You told us a story, O God,
of the old lost found:
“I picked him up somewhere east of Pampa
waving a piece of illegible cardboard.
'Where to, son?'
He moaned something about 'ol' man'
and shut down.
His eyes wore a blue-grey film
as he pulled the dirty camo around him
despite the warming day.”
“I drew my rig off to the side
where a ranch road winds down to meet the main route.
He dropped out of my cab
Don: Do you mind if I talk about Jamie?
Sue: You know I don't mind.
You told us a story, O God,
of the newfound lost -
the elder one with his chosen brotherhood
who will raise their voices as one
against any infraction upon quid pro quo.
The baritones that fill this wooden room
are vested in this place.
They afix themselves in chairs 'round the table,
paid in full, polished, hardly a scrape.
In this sanctum there is not the slightest dust
to mar the clean lines.
These are the constant.
