*** Bulgarian (n.) harbor grudges, evil remembrance, resentment

What we want—
payback—
may never come.
Patient ice 
watches water spill.
                                                Everything is time.

Have you seen 
the bee’s sting 
stilled
in archaic amber 
stealth?
                                                It obeys the time.

God tempts— 
God’s love to deliver.
Plotting is temptation. 
Intention’s etch 
scratches your eyes.
                                                It tells the time.

One jab, 
three jabs—two
take a tumble 
over chalk-white cliffs. 
Angry faces of lime.
                                              Rage dies in time.

In your prayer, 
there is 
no time.
Time is thought 
in a room 
                                                of time.
