I am expecting this year
is the empathy in the silence
in the time that is symbolised
in print as the time between
the death of Christ and the time
when Jesus met the disciples, later.
The hope against hope in that silence,
the hope amid seemingly rational fears,
the hope suspended against expectation
is something anyone can have, anywhere,
throughout the year, as events defy description.
With the number of shoddy deals
and sham politics that goes on around us
the patience we draw from that silence
is what will help us all to endure.
