Bible as Lit. yum.

[jekkisa]

sitting back as I imagine Noah would have
  sans air suffering this chainsmoke
i exhale & watch for what the dove brings back.

the difference is
these waters are not for fault,
   are not Yahweh's retribution.
merely high tide.

what will lift this shiftlessness?
my lambs want to stretch limbs,
lethargic lions lust for the hunt,
& i am sleeplessly mindnumb
 over this bruiseless batch of weeks.
