://of scissors and shredded hearts//:

t-shirt sits shredded

not to be worn again

‘I push a vacuum for the Lord’

(shirt read. congregation laughs) – but no more

for

tonight my jovial God is dead – or hidden

and this shirt was really just a joke for an

affable almighty

tonight I read of natural disasters

directly after

I heard the torment of cancer orphans

and read resounding ‘Why’s’ -

if You’re so wise

and the heavens throb with answers

then You are more unpredictable

- more fearsome

than I gave You credit –

so

please accept this offering of

my bleeding heart and

shredded

t-shirt
