Fourth Sunday of Advent


Luke 1:29

To see angels is troubling,
Even if one is clean of heart.

It is like being summoned
To the principal’s office.

Whenever I went, I always
Searched my mind for the uncovered base.

As I trod the silent hallways,
Their length stretching towards infinity,

I fretted about the unkind words I had said
Whether my anger had revealed itself.

The overdue library books,
The girl I had bumped into two days ago.

What is it like to be guiltless,
And still searching one’s soul for a fault?
