Five Psalms in To The Green Man
First forgive the silenceThat answers the prayer,
Then forgive the prayer
That stains the silence.
Excuse the absence
That feels like presence,
Then excuse the feeling
That insists on presence.
Pardon the delay
Of revelatioin
Then ask pardon for revealing
Your impatience.
Forgive God
For being only a word,
Then ask God to forgive
The betrayal of language.
From Mark Jarman, 'Five' Psalms' in To the Green Man
