“…one of them…asked him a question to test him.” Matthew 22:35

Creating Word of the World
where words can be formed into questions,
we come to you on syllables of air -
perhaps seeking answers
lying fallow on frozen fields -
but more in search of interpretations
and explanations leading to more questions
and to more questions.
We ask all this quietly
for subtle guidance
so as not to stir those
who debate the placement 
of letters on the page,
for their rage seeks to control
all that dwells in their midst.
Amen.
