Dimnah
11-17-15

For Jeshua son of Jodak
Never mind that fresh full pack
Five left to my name
Now it's her time to cry out for more
Levites twenty years and up for the work on the house
For Christ the groom and for we the spouse
With love for the adversaries of Benjamin
We build the temple
Coming to Zerubbabel
Let us build with you for we seek your God
She used to run around
We will build as Cyrus commanded us
I used to love her
And now there will be a new beginning
Where my covetousness is no longer winning
They could not discern the sound of weeping from joy
Dimnah with her suburbs
There is much to yet destroy....

Therapy tomorrow
It needs not mean my sorrow
I ask for a new drug
In the hill country of Judah with the suburbs round about it
So many ways to express what I have to say
It costs a lot to win and even more to lose
You have nothing to do with us
They are envious of each other
Facile and quick in comprehension
Shallow and superficial
Executive and judicial
Giving to the son of Jephunneth for his possession
One name out of thousands
Chosen for my profession and Kedemoth with her suburbs
Another honest and open confession...
