mourning takes a knee

 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
-       Matthew 5:4-5

I can’t breathe.
mourning
takes
a knee

On the neck
of the meek

Deep
sighs
too deep

Deep
sighs
to deep

fire
burns in tongues

but waterfall justice
is dammed

fire
speaks in tongues

tear the heavens

let
mountains tremble
flood justice

skip like slain lambs
slaughtered

ransom a kindom of priests
to serve
and lead to justice.
