when undone is good



guess what? my brother took this photo!
he's the photographer for this blog....

we traveled east down our mountain into an autumn sunrise,
leaves turned sun-golden
frost hiding in shadows
i drove
while husband studied notes
for his sermon
he filled a pulpit this sabbath
and we dressed up
and we greeted
and he brought words
about god's
goodness
righteousness
wrath
mercy
and i am undone
by this mercy
and i am undone
by this man's love
and i am undone

going to have to hold my nose

i was hoping

fall

would smell better

this year

once upon a time

it smelled

like love in the air

and

football games

and

cookouts

and

college

and

kids jumping in leaf piles

i was hoping

fall

would smell better

this year

but honestly?

for five years

it's smelled

like

exercise

restriction
purging

lying

losing weight

losing self

i was hoping

for

different
