Poem #7 “Cactus Spikes”

Riverless grace in the face of glory and empty space

Cactus spikes create worry we all in one embrace

Worry of people intrenches with faithless steeples

God help us not steamroll the widow and pre-born God-molds

Image bearers we’re told but like chopped liver we’re sold

Bring back the living God of the young but not so beautiful

The God of the ones not smiled on

The ones who’s daddies run

The one who’s momma’s son

A baby boy

God Joy

Bring back the loved one

The child who knows

The child who runs bold and is not stuck cold

Hidden in the shadows and found in the shallows

Baptized in a Kingdom so hallow

Jesus says “come Follow,

Come Follow”

Jesus says “come Follow”
