Deserted Cities of the Heart

Among those nations
you will find no repose,
no resting place
for the sole of your foot.
There the LORD
will give you an anxious mind,
eyes weary with longing,
and a despairing heart.
~ Deuteronomy 28

Folsom Prison Blues

But when all goes well with you,
remember me and show me kindness;
mention me to Pharaoh...
and get me out of this prison.
I was forcibly carried off
from the land of the Hebrews,
and even here
I have done nothing
to deserve being put in this dungeon..
~ Genesis 40

We Love You

I hate and detest falsehood
but I love your law.
~ Psalm 119

Fuck You!

But there are some Jews...
whom you have set over the affairs
of the province of Babylon ~
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego...
who pay no attention to you, Your Majesty.
They neither serve your gods
nor worship the image of gold you have set up.
~ Daniel 3

Candy Says...

Immediately her bleeding stopped
and she felt in her body
that she was freed from her suffering.
~ Mark 5

Little Girl Blue

My sacrifice, Oh GOD,
is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, GOD,
will not despise.
~ Psalm 51

Catch for us the foxes,
the little foxes that ruin the vineyards,
our vineyards that are in bloom.
