The Whiskey Priest

I thought of saying,
Look, I will take you through my self,
show you where the laceration is,
where I have been bruised. Come,
come and marvel, be taken
with my pain.

But I have changed, and
the change perhaps is wisdom.
All hearts are wounded, only
not everyone complains.
Instead of asking you to
be smitten by the scars,
I would rather go with you
to look at sunlight on the swell,
or birds flying in the city,
seeming each to be turned
and pointed by
the patient touch of God.
