Numbering
5-22-17

Something like that
I never knew rightly
In a need to understand it
Where believing is as seeing
Observe and celebrate
This day, brother Passover
As portions for foxes turning and searching
I need to see your face
As desolate foxes tread upon it
In a tone of cold interpolation
Still a ways away
Great with Him at that time
Observe this day
And speak to me
Foxes have holes
In a darkened space
Tomorrow short but sweet
For all declared pedigrees
Designated by ancestry
Levites not numbered
Nor inhabitants encumbered
In the wilderness we still wander....




Soon Time
5-22-17

Back in time for my birthday lunch with Mother
And Suzanne
For Levites appointed over the tabernacle
Stranger come nigh be brought back to life
For Ephraim and Manasseh
Soon time to walk on over
I hope it's not too late
Land of Reuben of the south side
And land of Dan on the north
O, bring forth that which is due
While ours have will
Gotten lost forever and on the heyday
Found again for rain out of the skies
And colors of a gate
Nadab and Abihu
No such seed
Consecrated and ordained
As the ministry of the priest's office.....





On Psalm 60:6
5-22-17

Let's move on
Back to the sixtieth Psalm
Thou made us drink of the wine of astonishment
But we are not poisoned in that there is no death in the cup
Dividing Shechem to mete out the valley of Succoth
Walk over now
Missions accomplished
In nectarines and peaches and lightbulbs
Give us help from trouble
It's worth every cent it costs
And you know it's free
Through God we do valiantly
O, divide Shechem
And mete out the valley of Succoth
Beneath the surface of the mud
Surprise!
