Grace

Christian Century,  April 22, 2008  by Carol Gilbertson

Grace

   We say grace before we start
   to eat good things together, as if
   our thin voices could somehow
   divine it. We call it table grace,
   as if it were the elegance of furniture.
   We say a woman has it in the way
   she moves. We equate it with luck
   sometimes, modify it with sheer
   as if we could shave it to size.

   Our gesture is not the real thing,
   we know that, that's wholly
   Your deal. This is mere posture--or
   should we say sheer posture--a
   way to halt moving limbs, to cease
   together here, to allow a tilt
   toward gratitude.
