L.O.V.E

stone-casters read from empty lists

with eyes closed - flinging chips

                          of self - 

carved from a core of absolutes,

they name us each profane - while

tossing flint across the wall,

hoping for a spark to burn the witch ...  

      (to later claim they did not aim and so held no intent)

yet many dream of amber days,

when wrath was pure and salt,

stacked by the pillar,

had cold value -

[could we shed enough

       to someday satisfy?]

perhaps return to roman days

and face arena lions ...

    oh wait ... that was the other guy.

(still)

some would make arrangements formal: line us up;

roll prayers down aisle and, if they get that strike, dance in

thanking jesus ...

they often seem to -

on having a win.

[I'd cast nothing - and

     if knocked down, turn the other cheek]

for if truth dwells

within uncertain absolutes -

as found in bible-leaf,

           passed down

                      from eye-to-eye -

then I have made my peace -

I will not cry that destiny

directs my course

and play the victim

            (to their need)

those words, so often spoken

in defence: 

           "I did not have a choice" -

are singing to a tune

we did not pen.

  (and owning fate is bliss)

of seven deadly sins,

I don't recall my name

but fear for those who know of truth ...

that pride will fell them:

     could I help - forgive them all?

(if only they could recognise the irony)

I do not hate, nor paint

of faith's assertions

from one brush - 

in turpentine the colours

merge -

to chase each others' pigment

in the swirl.

on canvas - moments layer - 

ever adding depth

and meaning to the whole;

while points of paint

define themselves in context,

all placed by that same hand
