Faithfulness

Slaughter & skin for their nakedness,
gopher wood beneath the darkening sky.
Forgiveness for beauty & her lying husband
and new names for both of them.
Shorn hair but a brave finish - deliverance from oppression.
Thirsty camels and a strong-hearted kinswoman
just in the nick of time.
And what about lions and honey? Lions with closed mouths?
Lions in pits as snowflakes cover the sand?


He has always been faithful.
