After 1 Peter 1:3-9
A
river flows
from
the cracked stone
water
washing over cleaning
over
and through, the pouring
unexpected
As
the river flows
it
tests, strengthens,
builds,
the icy tearing
of
its fingers emptying pores
of
accumulated dirt
The
river purifies
fading
the stain with mist,
a
vapor dissipating
a cleansing
away
to
a revealed whiteness
because
the stone cracks: hope
because
the stone cracks: birth
because
the stone cracks: inheritance
