Holy Monday

"The Lord is near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him in truth." Psalm 145:18

the palm leaves have
become new flooring 
for all the animals, while
the kids have grabbed
the branches for their games.
the cloaks and coats
have been carefully washed
and hung out to dry.
the crowd has dispersed
going back to work or
to the local pub or their
daily lives of idleness,
pretty sure they shouldn't
follow the colt-less rabbi

while you draw closer
to the One who is feeling
lonelier and lonelier as
each moment goes by.
