questions never asked
questions perfunctory
or lie to get a seat at the table
he said, “learn to ask better questions”
she said, “learn to hear the answers”
if there is no god of humor
leave me now
or is it my time to go away?
name your/our passions
if only to self
name which we want to share
with a partner
friend
or community
when two or more of us
are gathered in community
may we remember the passion
that brought us together
oh and also the other
mixed communities
when two or more of us
are gathered in community
may we accept circumstances
that brought us together
and together form
a more perfect union
with eyes that see
with ears that hear
one another
lead us to peace in our union.
amen
question?
