The Testing Place

My Jesus

It seems that I have to test

Everything I trust

Making sure it

Fits me like

I wanted

It to

yet

when I

wake I find

myself still in

the pain and ache

that met me yesterday

in the dark of my heavy

heart what dangers

meet my hand

something

within

way

caves in

and crumples

to a fetal position

I find my heart again

to be the broken place
