Gates besieged


After Micah 5:1-5

The troops besiege
the gates, the city
trembles, seeking
deliverance as
the soldiers scream
and shout and shake
the gates.

A cry goes up:

Who will deliver us
who will save us
from the locust army
surrounding us, ready
to devour us

A voice:

From the small
from the tiny
comes salvation
and the source is
Bethlehem
