Hebrew 5:1-10; Psalm 110:1-4; Mark 2:18-22

what power
the fast
a poverty
of our own creating
to open our eyes
to what is
already there
and why the fast
when He
is already present?

what new wine skins
are we to have
are we to be
to accommodate
this new wine
symbol
of a love
and friendship
not yet fully known
not yet fully lived

what priest of power
can raise us up
to see beyond
the confusion
of our own enmities
some offering
to expose to us
the divinity
of our being
except the one
that lives
already
in our own heart

Where is your priest?
