After Genesis 22:1-14 and Hebrews
11:17-19
He stands
quietly, silently
as he finds
himself lifted
to the stone and
told to lie still
he watches the
hands
bind him with
rope
he says nothing
but sees
the knife as
it’s pulled
from its sheath,
glistening
in the flashing
sunlight
as the knife is
raised
above him he
closes
his eyes and
waits
for the pain
that
without warning
doesn’t come,
stopped
by a voice to
his father
by his father
