#9 servant

Sometimes

it feels as if all of this

could fall apart,

as if we are all hanging on

by a thread.

How often did it feel like that

to you, I wonder?

How often did you wonder if this

master plan would work?

With all the washing of feet,

the talking of forgiveness

and eating with tax collectors,

the undoing of all that was normal, 

accepted.

Servant.

Give your life,

pour it out, you say.
