Peter Venable
The Nazarene eyed the temple and spoke
of stones crumbling to dust, of stars dropping like hail
on lanes, meadows, trees—
the sun black as a crow’s eye.
Peter Venable has written hundreds of poems over decades, been published elsewhere, sings, writes, counsels, inspires, and is happily married with a fine daughter, son-in-law,and Yeshua.
