holy friday


“But this I call to mind,
    and therefore I have hope:” Lamentations 3:21

when every moment
seems longer than the last,
when isolation is starting to make
us just a little bit weirder than before,
when every life’s forecast
seems dreichier than yesterday’s,
let us hear that hope you whispered
as you slipped into the cold, empty
embrace of death:

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
    his mercies never come to an end;” Lamentations 3:22
