Saturday Morning
Early
Very
half hour through cool morning
re-turn
real marketplace
of ideas
and choux rave
of local linked economies
and framboises
of communities
and saucisses toulouses
fruits of labor offered sold bought
without middle
recognized
knowing as known
laughter
weather
politics
and the serious business
of daily bread
Saturday Afternoon
Jim celebrated
a wedding blessing
for two musicians
Orchestra
Choir
Happy pastor
Sunday Morning
I weep Sundays
praise and prayers
overflow
in tears
stained glass
reflects
misty glory
of God with us
today
a family
baptized
father, mother, four children
household baptism
New Testamental
from Nigeria
this family
grace of God
visible
in each
one
image of God
made flesh
in each
one
following Jesus
nothing will separate
them from the love of God
tears of continuity and mystery
and then a smile
born of names
the two-year-old twins
baptized
are
Michelle
and
Hillary.
