My humility is in my emptiness
May I empty onto empty, O Lord

is to worship your path
and to continue along its semblance
even when it’s swerved

where you will place your trust:

I have this fever for you
burning me, demanding, relentless and aching

For every hole you have, we’ll make do, says the Lord:
For every type of starvation
for every type of laceration
for every type of amputation
we’ll make do:
For the end is not the end
loss is not loss
death is not death –
stay alert to how I work,
stay responsive and you’ll see
we’ll make do.
