RUACH

joseph, cuckold by God
is haunted
She taps on his ear while he is asleep
proposing new schemes to protect her
bouncing baby boy
he moves from the land of judea to
egypt and then to nazareth
teaches a son who looks nothing like him
how to humble his holy hands
pays little attention to the whispers
about mary who glows
in the company of women
