Saint Kitts and Nevis: crossing the river
his heart was sized
for a giant’s as he carried
the Christ child
and with Him all the sins
and cares of the world—
the anger and greed
and politicking. the sadness
of widows—the motherless.
the childless. the graves so
small that they are
only a footnote. he bore Him
across a river
wide as the world,
though his knees faltered
and his shoulders ached
and he fell down
knowing his Lord.
