High Holy Days

Hijacked 

pulpit

entombed in smoke
beggar's hand broadcast 

signs of electric 

snake

Black 

shock 

persecution, hung 

from a cross

high water mark

draining

Bullhorn 

flock
exit en mass
spread righteous 

terror

    Construction path
spike on the road
buzzards circling
combustion debris
mutilated animals, lying 

in route
plastic salvation

ties
    blood-let contribution

God, why

have you led

us this way?
