I wrote my grievance ("The Sadness")
on a slip of paper
and burned it up in a small bowl
(so the ashes would go to nourish the earth
after I'd left the burden behind me)
then I picked a stone
from a bowl full of stones
that had words for various
virtues and graces painted with
hearts on them...I picked "faith"...
now in this transforming void
ablaze with the intensity of my own penance
I become of what loss I'm relieved
and of what saving manifestation will manifest....
