Brother's Keeper
Of all the sin,
flesh to flesh,
brother slays brother.
Jealousy
crawls beneath the skin,
a viper with sharpened teeth.
He who has slain
will be driven
from sight
of all that is.
An unbearable penance
for an act of malice.
The creation
of clay
and breath
has broken
the immortal heart
and walked away from the Lord’s presence.
