Startled and Terrified
In a world of horrors,
even Good News startles and terrifies.
What’s the catch?
What’s the trick?
Where’s the anvil, overhanging?
Good News with wounds,
startles and terrifies.
Good News that commands us to go
out,
startles and terrifies.
Good News with wounds,
startles and terrifies.
Before we go
out,
let’s eat broiled fish.
Will it be enough?
Will we be enough,
in a world of horrors?
