Quote reblogged from National Poetry Slam 2013 with 8 notes

When I saw Charity dancing
alone in the farmhouse kitchen—
eyes closed, lips parted, held aloft
in one hand half a mango,
a gigantic butcher knife
clutched in the other—I froze
at the screen door as I always do
when I come upon someone praying.
— Brett Eugene Ralph, “Firm Against the Pattern” (via bostonpoetryslam)
