Family of God

By Michael Lyle

Zebedee sits in the boat
among the torn nets
and sees his sons
walk away with the Nazarene.

His burnt cheeks sting,
embarrassed to be heartbroken
in front of the hired men,
watching the brothers
disappear down the shore
as Galilee laps the hull.

Michael Lyle is the author of the poetry chapbook The Everywhere of Light (Plan B Press), and his poems have appeared widely, including in Atlanta Review, The Carolina Quarterly, Crannóg, The Hollins Critic, Mudfish and Poetry East. He lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
