pool of water,
the flint into a spring of
water." Psalm 114:8
funny.
we are being told
we need to make our
souls as solid as rocks
to be used to build wall
between us and others
and to harden our hearts
so that, like flint, they
might spark fires which
would destroy all compassion.
but you would crush rocky
souls to become gravel
walkways for refugees to
follow to hope,
you would take our flinty
hearts and turn them into
baptismal fonts of grace
for all forgotten by the world.
