‘Cracks’
by David Tensen
it’s the cracks
on the road to wholeness
you have to watch for
the novice avoids them,
scuttling with speed
across the bitumen
hoping to reach
a promised land
without tripping
but the wise slow down
knowing the road
has no end
the wise have learnt
the cracks are
the way forward
going down
into the narrows
where seeds fall
