Waiting For Supper

February 19, 2025

Rows of forgiveness

fallow in winter

Waiting for summer

their treasure installed

Leftover morsels

heated in darkness

Sating the hunger

of those who are called

Seeds from the past

replenish the future

Buried salvation

awaits in the ground

Fasting on yesterday

feasting tomorrow

Waiting for supper

— when dinner bells sound

(The New Room: February, 2025)
