I tried to make a cursive h

(If we know what cursive is

 

I hear it’s no longer taught

In school)

 

Anyway (my rant set aside),

I failed to get it right and,

In my attempt to

Write it right,

 

I saw what makes the letter

 

A circle, more an oval

Straight line descending

At an angle, then upon

A simple arch

 

Those three shapes

Make this alphanumeric

Contribution

 

Such plain things make up

The world

 

Lines are bent or remain

Straight, all to recommend

How Earth might be

 

By keepers and expressers

Who delight with beauty in

Design

Psalm 28, a song when I feel haunted

Psalm 28
a song when I feel haunted

I need, Lord, your love

Who doesn’t need the love of
God?

And yet I fear

I fear the ghosts that haunt me
From the past into the present

How do you proceed in this

How do you love?

How might I know peace this
Day from all the days wrought
In iron pain, now fully steel-
Dimensional?

You are here, I know

You can bear sinuous demon’s
Presence away, even into
Annihilation

Yet I feel possessed, perhaps in
Lack of faith:

Past wrongs, mine and theirs, that
Aberrate the life that you first
Shaped

Maybe this is why, in life, the (first)
Psalmists say, Make straight your
Way

For the line of majesty arriving as
The lord of care

Travels truly—with economy and
All divine electricity—on the line

Made edged and replete when we
Ally in your design
