Omer 12 - Still here
hod of gevurah
By grace of mountains,
chaotic endurance,
Hebraic neuroses,
pathological defiance:
still, we are here.
Still, I am here.
Written in stars and marrow,
fingertips and molecules,
we remain eventual, inevitable.
I remain eventual, inevitable.
Stranger in a strange land,
tending to new wounds
rubbing old scars,
still I remain.
Still, we remain.
Heart drips true as the
same blood pumps through.
In silver and gold,
with my face to the same sun
from eons ago
that touched the faces
once known to me
thousands of years ago,
I sing the old songs with new cords.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
