Poem for Fifth Sunday of Lent 2026

And there the logical hook
On which the Mystery is impaled and bent
Into an ideological argument.

Poem for Fourth Sunday of Lent 2026

All things without, which round about we see,
We seek to know, and how therewith to do;
But that whereby we reason, live, and be,
Within ourselves we strangers are thereto.

Poem for Third Sunday of Lent 2026

I knew, always, that I would be a worker in the vineyard,  
as are all men and women living at the same time,   
whether they are aware of it or not.

Poem for Second Sunday of Lent 2026

You are neither here nor there,
A hurry through which known and strange things pass
As big soft buffetings come at the car sideways
And catch the heart off guard and blow it open.
