“Why
must I walk about
mournfully
because of the oppression of
the enemy?” Psalm 43:2b
while
the guys are off
doing
God-only-knows what,
the
women have
swaddled
hope in
their
tears and placed it
in
the manger shaped
from
their broken hearts, as
they
sit by the window
staring
down the road
watching
for the
prodigal
to
come home
from
that distant country
