From NPR’s website, (author interviews)….by Nate Klug, a theology student at Yale Divinity School.

Mercy

Its water-torture-slow
wend in me. Its work

like the reverse of work.
No wonder human

praise won’t stick.
No wonder anger’s

more often summoned,
its hum, ready-made,

that steadies my head
like hospital television,

throwing blue rumor
for hours at no one.
