Witness

by Kristin Thomas

I won’t give in this time;

This time will be different.

My words float heavenward

From my upturned lips

As I

Fall down

Again

Satan adds a mark--

Another line on his chalkboard

To testify.

But I,

Through tear-stained face,

Take God’s hand to

Stand up

Again

My Judge erases

The Accuser’s smirk and my mark

To testify.
