After Isaiah 13-23
I took a
two-week tour,
all-inclusive,
guide
furnished, side
trips
available before
and after,
airfare from
gateway city
and whirlwinded
my way
to Babylon,
Assyria, the land
of the
Philistines, Moab,
Damascus, if
this it Tuesday
it must be Cush,
Eyypt,
Edom, Arabia,
Jerusalem,
and Tyre, a tour
overwhelmed
by sites and
sensations,
by ruins and
ruminations,
by temples and
temporalities,
a kaleidoscope
of cities
and nations and
plains and
mountains, and
rivers and roads,
the dust flying
fast behind
the tour bus,
and I learned
only one thing:
judgment is
inevitable,
but it’s not the
end.
