January 24th

"And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was."  Mark 4:36

we would like to
clean you up, trim
your beard and
hair, wrap
you in armanied
array, a gold watch
rolled on your wrist,
or
we could get
as gritty with grace,
as dirty from
walking the dusty
roads of poverty,
as disheveled from
wrestling with injustice

as you.
