Thanksgiving 2019
O God,
before I gave voice
to my gratitude for you,
I sensed the joy
of your friendship
with us.
–Immanuel, God with us; Friend of sinners.

Honk at me
What solace is required to fly north and remain?
These geese seem to know for their flights are never pained
with silence whether in groups of two
or of twelve.
What does such clumsy honking call forth
that silence
cannot?
Oh our fears of awkward
have cast many down on the
plains of Abraham
where you could have been a sister
and I could have been a brother
but
we wither
away.
So please
honk at me
and I’ll fly
with you.
