Rivulets of Self

Clenched fist
coffee stomach

Heels dug in
eyes pried open

a drive
with testimonials

I listen
try to hinge

my hope
upon

your story.

I pray all
day long

between customers
for

humility

patience

God speak

rivulets of
self

running into
the sea

of humanity

Trying to
connect.
