a fatal flaw from the beginning
a fatal flaw from the beginning
a crack in the communion chalice
a pulled thread in the tapestry;
schism, division, papered over
so soon to find light, oxygen
to be written into the contract
so long left unanswered, unresolve,
a festering wound unhealed.
ancient divisions exacerbated
divorce painful but needed;
now is the time for separation, for a parting,
for the truth to be lived out
the crack widening, the seam ripped
a schism already started
comity wearing out, tension,
a need for a new day.
