Parsha Bechukotai

               "...the sound of a driven leaf
                      shall put them to flight..."
                            Leviticus 26:36

and if any are left after
the land is destroyed
and men wrestled with men,
turned a callous heart
to God's word, if any are left
after we ignored our part
in the covenant, walked after
self- constructed idols, we shall
look behind us and think we
hear footfalls, yet it is only
fear that walks and the ghost
of our broken promises
