Burning Bush | Castor, 5/9/26
______________
It was commanded
A fire upon a bush
Leaves untouched
Limbs unscorched
A message from God
A direction
A sentence
the search for Moses
Conviction of condemnation
His life pre-written
Moses heard his calling
Exodus to Leviticus
Numbers to Deuteronomy
The Lord, brandishing his rod
Gifted him a life
Gifted him a purpose
If I saw a burning bush
Fear would root
My feet to the ground
An anomaly of my nature
A providential calling
If I saw a burning bush
If I saw a message from God
If I saw a divine direction
I would only
Be able
To run
I am not Moses
I am not a saint
I am not what he needs
Moses heard his calling
Moses yielded, pendulous
I have never once
been able to give
what others need

Prayer | Castor, 5/24/26
______________
You repeat it so often
It's less of a mantra
And more of a prayer
I need to get out of here
I need to get out of here
I need to get out of here
Insect | Nicholas, 8/8/26
______________
insect caught in the overhead
shadow fluttering frantically
flashes over the ceiling
is it scared?
its short life
trapped now in the glow
in the bright light
does it know?
it slams against
the transparent plastic
it could be instinct
it could be terror
when it lies down
will there be some
comfort in lying
beside the others?
beside the bodies
of those who failed
to escape as well,
is it warm?
does it think,
'at least
I have
this'?
