forgiveness


Words build character
and I am a novel.
I cross-checked the Jesus cross
but it was made of countertop formica
and the children
no, the family pets
prayed to it anyway
the pile of firewood
looked like a child in prayer
I could hear the sound
of celestial joints snapping
it sounded like
forgiveness.
