Lectionary Poetry – 24th Sunday After Pentecost (Year A)

Lectionary Poetry Trinity Sunday

With the dawn of a new church year, we have launched a new feature on our website, a weekly post of poetry that resonates with the lectionary readings for that week (Revised Common Lectionary).

And though we strain our ears we hear nothing—
Which is even more terrifying than something.
