After Psalm 91
This shelter
business:
why, I don’t
know, I see
the word shelter
and I imagine
a desert of sand
and searing heat
rocks burning at
the touch
and heat of
course the heat
a searing sun
sucking coolness
from the ground
from my skin.
And yet this shelter,
I find,
is a shadow
arching over me
protecting me
from heat
a refuge from
dust and wind
a shield staring
down the terror
a shadow
a cleft in the rock
sheltering me
from enemies
sheltering me
from others
from myself
