it's getting late (maundy thursday 2021)

it’s late and it’s time  
to replace everything

i’ve asked you for money
but you never answer

i keep entering the sanctuary
and i keep finding emptiness

i’ll settle for any old blessing
tell me which words to use

maybe it’s just me
maybe that makes me a fool

maybe i’ll just keep waiting
here where it’s still

full of longing
where everything has faded

like ghosts, like friendships
new commandments

like the constant grind
of bone crushing bone

the spaces filled with dust
my feet need washing

the table needs to be set
your ring waits to be kissed

tomorrow is a new day
they also said that about today

home is so far away
i have so many calls to return

gather all my things
leave the door unlocked
