Piece work for Jesus

Piece work for Jesus

You get upset

attack

demand to know 

the reason

the meaning

where is your 

compassion?

Your forgiveness?

You seem to be 

bringing scalps and hides 

kicking and screaming 

to the feet of your God.

You missed a bit of the 

meaning somewhere

perhaps fixing the typo 

will help settle your soul

It is not piece work for Jesus 

but peace work.

~ David L. White

to the painter Shelby Keefe

I scroll by, stroll by, 

glancing, move on. 

Something twinkles. 

I stop. Still. 

I breathe in the breeze 

of every brush stroke. 

Between the light 

and shadow 

the pedestrian 

disappears.

Collapse

Collapse

Collapse is a noun
that makes it sound
like a singular event
it was
it went

or something in a future tense
yet when you admit it
you’re in the thick of it
it is more the
tick tock of dominoes
spiraling
out of sight
out of mind
it might
