afterimages

i’d be happy enough to say that I’ve got nothing today

Do not fret because of the wicked ; * do not envy those who do evil :

the psalm leads us through
the shenanigans of the wicked
followed by the promise
that the wicked will not prevail

this is supposed to be assuring
do not fret …

but the fret
is hard-wired
chaos writhing

waiting is hard
open our hearts
