A thin black line


After Psalm 6

A thin black line
stretches before me,
a line unending
into the horizon,
into the void, no refuge,
no respite, no relief
even if only temporary,
this void I languish in,
the void I anguish in.
My voice begs forgiveness,
my voice pleads rescue,
my heart screams to avoid
the anger, the justice,
the discipline, all justified.
