Poetry by Joyce Hida
There are sacraments too holy to perform.
Becoming, one. Division, the other.
Some nights, I miss the quiet mumble of the city priest,
the way his old, blind tongue mistakes fear for praise
and immortalizes both as love.
In this way, we are constantly choosing between divine and divide;
and, in so doing, make our choice.
