Progress
It is scary sometimes to lose a part
that feels like identity, like we
could be contained in our clothes,
or our sermons
Some traditions are warm marshmallows over low coals
others are lace veils, tangled around tiny ankles
Change means difference of state: Think flames
Progress is change that improves life: S'mores
Regress is change that degrades: ash and pain
Human is the template, but
We take shape, we make space
so our future can contain our oaths
and our wisdom
