Long After
(“Most
of all, have a true love for each other. Love covers many sins.” 1 Peter 4:8)
Mostly I hear the
printed word in tones full of objections;
a growl, a frown, a scowl, an upside-down offer to set me straight.
Lay aside your weapons and I’ll lay aside my wounds;
a growl, a frown, a scowl, an upside-down offer to set me straight.
Lay aside your weapons and I’ll lay aside my wounds;
It’s fascinating the way
the mind
inserts moods into the minuscule scribbles on
the back of a napkin or
the screen of a phone.

Happen upon our long
history, friend,
not the two or three minutes that have fueled our silence.

What I would really
like, you ask?
I would like to still
smell the roses
long after you’ve left the room.
