forty-nine

"Whoever says, ‘I am in the light,’ while hating a brother or sister, is still in the darkness.” 1 John 2:9

with a tweet

or with a snark,

with a cold shoulder

or red-hot anger,

with a self-righteous sneer

or a look-right-through-another,

we slip so far into

the shadows we can’t

even see the entrance

to the fabled tunnel
