like Sherlock Holmes,
you walk the foggy streets
of our fearful hearts,
identifying our brokenness
by the ashes of our tears
and knowing who we are
simply by examining
the calluses on our souls
and the stubs of the tickets
to Tarshish in our pockets.
yet while all we understand
about the ultimate Mystery
is that our last breath
will come when we least expect,
you know
that death met its end
by your abundant grace
in the tomb
with resurrection love.
