This Dialogue
(“Whatever
house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’” Luke 10:5)
If it’s
all the same to you, I’d like to open
this dialogue
again.
this dialogue
again.
I do
not need to win.
Your
eyes showed the fear within,
and naked anger
bursting
from too many unfinished songs.

If we
had it to do all over again, I’d applaud every
lyric and verse
unsung.
I would not need the tune.

Sooner
than later I’d like to meet you
for coffee and
first rites,
unscripted with advice set aside.
for coffee and
first rites,
unscripted with advice set aside.
Just
after I return, I’d like to swing
my front door wide
open,
and let within every north and south,
every fair and ill wind
my front door wide
open,
and let within every north and south,
every fair and ill wind
that simply needs to rest on my floor,
on my couch, with silence or without.
Sanctuary.
