Honorable Mention
Sunglasses in Church
Carin

He sways to hallelujahs
and bells
in stone towers above his hands.

Blind, bent, swiveled in the pew,
he reaches
anyone; The Peace of Christ be with you.

Too long she's found
no meaning
in the colored glass or pipe organ prayers.

Today as they touch, her offerings of tears
reclaim faith
and shatter on slate underfoot.

If conviction is blind, then grace reveals
truth inevitable,
even hunched in the unlikely pew three rows ahead.

The sly Spirit breathes minty air
a soulfire,
whispered from his believing eyes.

How clever the connection forged,
unleavened understanding
that doesn't crumble in communion wine.
