Psalm 130

Pentecost +11 - Year B

Psalm 130

with no where to turn

a cry arises

neither bidden nor

involuntary

wherefore art thou

my need demands

a hearing

there will be no rest

until there is a faceoff

and someone blinks

I know I’m an underdog

in this context

but wobbly knees

are strengthened

for the stakes are high

my claim is not innocence

for there is none

but an honored hearing

a remembrance

presumed forgiveness

a standoff continues

waiting upon waiting

hope within hope

assumpton beneath assumption

as dark turns to morning

no more keeping of fouls

piled unbearably

on one party

we are in this together

freely bound
