Heavenly Terms


Owing a debt

you can never repay

Beatitudes leveraged

salvation in play

 

Moments beholden

to all that’s to come

Providence calling

in voices unsung

 

Eternally liable

the invoice sublime

Whose terms reverential

the bursar Divine

 

The wings of an angel

the wings of a dove

In debt to forgiveness

—absolved from above

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2023)
