wolf-teeth

my dream about the second coming

BY LUCILLE CLIFTON

mary is an old woman without shoes.

she doesn’t believe it.

not when her belly starts to bubble

and leave the print of a finger where

no man touches.

not when the snow in her hair melts away.

not when the stranger she used to wait for

appears dressed in lights at her

kitchen table.

she is an old woman and

doesn’t believe it.

when Something drops onto her toes one night

she calls it a fox

but she feeds it.

A more personal note regarding the last post: if you look at the city of Buffalo, the incredible racial dividing lines become quite clear! it's interesting to see how stark that line really is, not just in our perceptions, but also with census data.

This is pretty interesting! if, of course, you love maps.

mennonite perspectives.

In one analysis, economists predict that extreme weather could boost the number of international conflicts by as much as 50 percent by 2050. Higher temperatures might also increase the rates of murder, rapes and domestic violence, they say because aggression seems to rise with the mercury.

gettin' crazy.

summary: we ignore or trivialize death in our worship to our own detriment.
