knucklebones


“Ah Lord God! It is you who made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.”  Jeremiah 32:17

convinced you cannot
win at knucklebones, we
dump all our silliness,
our hurtful words and deeds,
our spite and malice
on the floor, but you simply
sit cross legged and while
tossing grace into the air,
gather up everything
with a single sweep of your hand,
grinning at us knuckleheads.
