Stubbornly, Vulnerably (Poem and Picture 035)--January 21, 2019

"Stubbornly, Vulnerably"
See Christ Here Poem and Picture 035--January 21, 2019

It was my fault.
I had left this bulb,
bought from the clearance rack,
in the dark cold of a car trunk
and forgotten about it.
And still
look how a new green edge
stubbornly,
vulnerably
refuses
to let my failure
be the last word.
O amaryllis,
like Christ

you do not give up on me.
