returning to the world


we don’t know the progression
from the center
spending time in worship
all of them together
in Jerusalem, the temple
in each others’ homes
praying together
other signs, wonders
sharing everything together
as any had need

eventually devolving
the center expanding
returning to the world
away from the center
owning things alone
possessions returning
when we don’t know
the disciples scattered
the center unwinding
back in the world
