LET GO AND LET GOD

read the flowered pewter cross
floating just above eye-level

i’m unsure how this encouragementy
kitsch found its way to 
the driver’s side visor of our
‘92 Saturn SL2

maybe a gift
given to my wife 
for the girding of her soul
exhorting her to take 
His yolk upon her
be freed from her burdens

so i loose my grip 
on things that hinder
on easily entangling sin
and drifting bathe in forgiveness’s wind

irony of these words crashes
like a wandering motorist
when i see that they 
do not include the steering wheel
