palms day


“While I kept silence, my body
         wasted away
   through my groaning all day
         long.”  Psalm 32:3

on this day,
we join our voices
in glad hosannas
of welcome and praise
(hoping to drown out
your cries for justice),
         even
as our bodies groan
from the weight
of the nails
we carry in our
hearts
