A place bound

After Genesis 22:1-14 and Hebrews 11:17-19

Movement for three days

neither forward nor back

only to –

to a place

where servants and friends

cannot, do not, come

a place to sacrifice

to test, perhaps to hope

but a place bound by a thicket

where a ram awaits, provided,

a ram is caught

in the thicket, provided

a ram is substituted
