next door to me is a baptist church.
at the church, is a mail slot.
on the mail slot, is the graffiti’d word ’scandal’.
under the ’scandal’, are purple flowers.
i’d like to think the flowers
are someone’s apology
to someone else for whatever
caused the hurt,
built the wall,
cultivated the anger
towards the church,
towards the faith,
towards the purpose.
imperfect people do a poor job
of representing an all perfect God…
of caring well…
of living well…
of loving well.
i didn’t put the flower there,
but i took a photo of it…
as my way of saying,
i’m sorry too.
