Advent 4 - Year B
6 Months
six months into someone else’s story
we find we have our own to tell
of course we thought they were favored
and now we can’t avoid our own
when we stop to think with favoring comes fear
who needs a voluntary earthly hell
what this means for me and mine
is all too well known
Joe is at risk and who ever heard of a boy
named Jesus in our family
fertile fantasies re-appreciate barrenness
especially with being overpowered
spirit rape is no better than any other kind
to sanitize it is simply silly
this needs to be faced along with Tamar and Bathsheba
such a conception is hard when conceived
yes favored fear is all too real
our soul shakes
large promises are no less real
we bake 32 birthday cakes
