"Then David danced and spun around with abandon before ADONAI, wearing a linen ritual vest. So David and all the house of Isra'el brought up the ark of ADONAI with shouting and the sound of the shofar" (2 Samuel 6:14-15, The Complete Jewish Bible).

Nocturnal Watchmen

Nocturnal Watchman,
If your eyelids get heavy,
Remember: Who lifts the veil
And rouses men to their knees
There's a mansion with acoustic intimacy
Beats so deep
You shudder in slow-mo to this
Virtual Jordan jacuzzi
Ritual of catchy waves
On your bed, swaying,
What would be my profession
Abba? Security? Friend?
You stand on
A towering remnant,
Nose to Psalms 2,
Anticipating the pregnant cloud
Envelop you as a city acquires New...
