Dilemma

Have you asked yourself
how to navigate to freedom
when no corkscrew paths twist
away from consequence?
Everything swirls and funnels
from first great cause
to last effect,

nadir where you choose—
where Christ hangs

on time’s chiasmus,
freeing every generation
since the war in heaven.
You are caught between
corner stone and stumbling block.
Will you break or be broken?
Ask yourself.
