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.
