I AM RESOLVED

By John Blase | January 1, 2017 |

I’ve zero interest in being a red letter christian

or a common good christian or whatever other

bastardization some feel crucial to crossfit the

old faith, tone it hard for our dark new world.

If the over articulate is the enemy of the erotic

could this not also threaten the desired agapic?

No, call me Christian – the one word that means

little Christ. This feels earthlingly possible,

that with Christ’s help I might achieve small feats

of uncommon graceness on the human scale.

Yes, Christian. I want to be swept away by this,

this noun I daily bear, this my light burden.
