Diamond Head
Distant gray against the sunrise
You could almost think it untouched
by human hands
Until you see the lumps and spikes
of Waikiki pinning down its skirts.
Diamond Head
Distant gray against the sunrise
You could almost think it untouched
by human hands
Until you see the lumps and spikes
of Waikiki pinning down its skirts.
Hearing the voice
and going along with it
saddles you with the sin
of the one who said it.
While a burden shared
is a burden lightened,
a sin shared
drags both to hell.

To quote my own comment on the original post:
As the flute gives shape to the breath,
so do we give shape to the breath
of God that flows through us.
Lightly and delightfully humorous way to market your chapbook:
In the beginning when God
created the world he said, “Odd.
I could have sworn,
when it was born,
that everyone would applaud.”

Time to call it quits.
