~This ‘n That~

peppermint tea, broken glass

child’s giggles, drop of red while grating cheese

secrets wrapped, hearts torn open

enter into His grace chapel with fragments

into His courts with whispered gratitudes

brokenness and coal-stained lips

advent of joy and bloodiness, birthed

in me, sore-hipped, longing woman

Your red shed, my red hands, clean
