Summer 2023
my favorite thing about you today is
how many times you physically bent low
you washed feet/made mud with your spit/wrote that mystery in the ground/met them crawling in the crowd and even still
you shook them from sleeping in the garden.
that you bent low to meet us is my favorite thing today.

My favorite thing about you today is that
you came back for Thomas.
And maybe he didn’t need it, maybe he just demanded it — in his way, like I do in mine —
You came back for him all the same.

My favorite thing about you today
Is that you, too, asked God for the time
And you, too, waited
to be met with
Not yet.
October 2023
What is your name? you asked
the man possessed and cut up by rocks, living in the tombs —
What is your name? you asked first.
That’s what you led with.
That’s my favorite thing about you today.
