Father
 
Father, there is a hole in my back
Where your hand did not rest, 
Where the skin did not sense your presence
Where the bone did not grow
   to meet your touch 
Hence I stand,
   shoulders slumped
   protected heart
Unsure in the world
 

 
Father, our Father, now I see, there’s a hole in your back too.

	- Rebecca Evert
