twenty-seven


“In speaking of ‘a new covenant,’ he has made the first one obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.”  Hebrews 8:13

may
our covenant with cruelty
dissolve into dust;
our fealty to fear
be broken to pieces;
our treaty signed with terror
be ripped to shreds;
our agreement with anger
be tossed in the bin,
so that we may discover
the new hearts you
have carved within us
