January 1–7 ❘ Testimony
Testimony
It’s instinct—
we witness to each other
without effort,
build up or claw down
by what we give and withhold,
as if we were still spirits
at war over Christ,
who has now triumphed,
yet we bicker over who to follow.
Hold these words—
heft them. Bite down
to test for gold.
You choose what to believe.
Why not something beautiful?
