Thrill
Us Alongside
(“Then
Moses prayed to the Lord, ‘What am I going to do with these people? They are
about to stone me to death!’” Exodus 17:4)
Thrill us
alongside our easy beliefs,
be the jester for our fear’s relief,
magic acts explode and smoke,
banquets of miracles or we will revoke
your prophet’s license here and now!

Presume
the definition lives up to your own hunger
and every flower means zero if it cannot be eaten.
Measure goodness by your own myopia
and every lantern is a black hole on a sinking boat.

Tell us
what will make us cry for the moment,
not what makes us brood over undone reconstruction.
We are ready to release in buckets full of emotion
our agony to spend the rest of the day
lightly playing like no neighbor hungers like me.

Fewer
faces, decrease the spaces between the
Kingdom Come
and the words our tongues make our
world become.

Hunger,
let it grumble in me for you;
pangs and fasting, let them answer on earth
as it always is in Heaven.
pangs and fasting, let them answer on earth
as it always is in Heaven.
We might drop
the rocks, bruise our toes,
before we ever again refuse another step
that refuses to see Father’s love that chose
our provision tomorrow before we ever slept
