Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

 

I see through you.

 

The sweet voice and gentle way.

 

A trap you learned.

 

Exercise in control.

 

But I see through you.

 

I used to mourn for you.

 

But now I’m reviled.

 

You’re a predator in silk voice

 

And lace camisole.

 

Fierce and fluff

 

Blended with arsenic—

 

Emitting a slow death.

 

Unawares the poison

 

You spread grows within you.

 

I watch its liquid reaching

 

Like cancer.

 

I see through you.  

 

 

 

God in heaven, only you know what’s next. Mercy and Justice. All we can ask. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
