Poem: Uncle at Wednesday testimony

*

Uncle, when you said
your "words can't express"
the reach of God-
's goodness,

it was not only true
when you said what they couldn't
do but all the more true
the more they couldn't.

They were
more powerful somehow
the weaker
they were and so were you

as you spoke to me
and I listened distractedly.
