34/40

The Kyrie a persistent
protest.
Roots
anchored
to the soil.

Words
that live
on the edge
of winter
and spring.
We sing.

10/40

Prayers like
constellations
embodied
in brokenness
crammed back
into flesh
that scars.

#foundpoem Alia Joy’s “The Foolishness of a Kingdom”

I don't know the science
of cosmic things
but I know the weight

of a body
that could not rise
against the gravity

of despair, the tongue
too thick and heavy
to lash around in prayer.
