Tristan Robert Lange

the currency of change

in the liminal space
separating now from
 
then,
 
what has changed?
what has transpired in
 
us?
 
sinners succumb to sin
only when they cease
to see sin and
 
change.
 
when that change comes,
when it is delivered
 
deliberately
 
with honesty
and transparent
 
totality,
 
is it not then expected,
is it not absolutely
 
anticipated
 
that such change
will correct wrong
 
courses
 
and inspire honest,
and harrowing
 
truth-telling?
 
what, again, has changed,
what has transpired in
 
us,
 
that change wished for
becomes the impetus of
 
loathing?
