Everything by Shane Schick Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!” -Mark 10:28 Mortgaged for the next two decades to come, with a single car bearing a scrape in the shape of a grim mouth and a tax bill for which the late fees accumulate like snow. But also all this wealth, including the long-term investments that are our kids, munching their dinner at the table every night, the golden strands flickering in the clean darkness of my wife’s hair, how I walk with the same freedom of movement as the ants. I know the price of admission, and I know what I can afford. My mistake is to approach the needle’s eye as if I were thread, looking so closely that a camel appears small enough to pass.
Shane Schick has had poetry published in Ekstasis Magazine, The Clayjar Review, Hearts of Flesh, Macrina Magazine and many other publications. He lives with his wife, an Anglican priest, and their children in Whitby, Ont. More: ShaneSchick.com/Poetry.
