sensing Sorrow’s presence
in the fire’s progress
breathing in the smoke
deeply , deeply
that transformation
drawn into the pit
the palms of Sunday
covered with our hosannas!
their burning so quickly
in becoming smoke, ashes
breathing in Sorrow
a cloak, a presence
the ashes drawn within
into my lungs, onto my
heart
hidden, in secret, within
within my body, upon my life
my walk different
after the smoke, the
ashes
sensing Sorrow’s presence
in life, in memory
