Lee Wilson - Grace

GRACE


Some accrue debts.
Some collect them.
Some pick up the fallen.
Some pile them up to reach the moon.

Some love the ones that break them.
Some break the ones that love them.
Some scream;
some put in earplugs.
Some leave behind a legacy;
some, their nail-clippings.

Some go green –
some get pierced.
Some love to read;
some read to love.
Some give,
some give up.

Some hang from a cross.
Some send home the nails.
Some win with glee.
Some lose with grace.
