Connie Johnson


At the Intersection of Being

 

I am    protected

from what I want

by a loose grasp

upon what’s

possible.

 

& while the streets

I navigate can be found

on Google Maps 

none     of them

seem to lead me

anywhere.

 

inwardly,

I reflect upon

what you said to me

this morning:

 

love is elusive.

salvation seems iffy.

redemption is remote.

 

& peace

feels like a

terribly long drive

away.
