NAPOWRIMO #19: RELIGION

For 2011's National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), Troy's Work Table is attempting to write thirty poems in thirty days without the help of writing prompts from other websites.

Many of these are still in some sort of draft stage, but that is the nature of the Work Table.

RELIGION

Narrow path or narrow mind
or never mind

it’s really about open hearts

marrow of bones that dries out
to be filled again with new life

stitched together

with taut sinews
and fibrous muscle

a pulse that beats blood

to the outskirts of rejuvenated limbs
that reach toward the neighbor

in need.
