come simple

Matthew 11:25-26 "At that time Jesus declared, 'I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them instead to little children; yes, Father, for such was your good pleasure."

The parables all unwrap themselves—
strings and lines fall simply away—

when the scribes count their stars,
the rocks hold their breath,
the years tilt on their very eve,

and the universe unclenches of its shining advents
and stoops to fill instead
the cradle of a child's hand.
