Jesus begins


Three haikus with the story in Luke 

throw him back

Luke 4:14–30 

the valley would not 
receive him, returned, mountain
prophet home no more 


gather them in 

Luke 5:1–11 

he calls: fish sink boats
we fall to knees unworthy
then rise – gasp – he calls! 


come to the light

Luke 6:17–26 

he warms, he restores, 
riddles blessings into woes, 
woeful become blessed
