+-----The Proposal; The Angel Gabriel's Offer To Mary

 I know you want this
too, your unconscious
pleadings rising poignant
in Eden- the scent of the
burning wood of Prometheus
ascending to Mount Olympus
to Zeus attesting man’s rebellion
had begun. Your spirit has
seen your people enslaved
by Roman severity for too
long. And now this – an offer
from God, rendered by an angel
who seethes at Adam, Eve’s
Disgrace still. Mary, the Hebrews
the world, needs your Womb
(for redemption).

------Luke 1:26-38
Six months after Elizabeth knew she was to become a mother, Gabriel was sent from God to Nazareth. Nazareth was a town in the country of Galilee. He went to a woman who had never had a man. Her name was Mary. She was promised in marriage to a man named Joseph. Joseph was of the family of David. The angel came to her and said, “You are honored very much. You are a favored woman. The Lord is with you. *You are chosen from among many women.” When she saw the angel, she was troubled at his words. She thought about what had been said. The angel said to her, “Mary, do not be afraid. You have found favor with God. See! You are to become a mother and have a Son. You are to give Him the name Jesus. He will be great. He will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the place where His early father David sat. He will be King over the family of Jacob forever and His nation will have no end.” Mary said to the an gel, “How will this happen? I have never had a man.” The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you. The power of the Most High will cover you. The holy Child you give birth to will be called the Son of God. “See, your cousin Elizabeth, as old as she is, is going to give birth to a child. She was not able to have children before, but now she is in her sixth month. For God can do all things.” Then Mary said, “I am willing to be used of the Lord. Let it happen to me as you have said.” Then the angel went away from her.

And Terry you await upheaval,
the overthrow of the Cavs and
King James like a coup in
Rome, Caesar overthrown,
the Empire of 8 years’ Finals
Tradition burning. Your odds of
winning tonight like a young
Hebrew Virgin enslaved pregnant.
Her people too poor (of spirit) to speak
on liberation. Yet your ball handling
and defense and three point
shooting like an Angelic Courier
touting a message “Hail, Boston
full of grace.” Your stymieing of
JR Smith like the beginning of belief,
a basketball miracle in the womb.
When you dunk on Lebron in the 4th,
like your assent to greatness, full faith
in the NBA Finals’s God’s support.
As you watch Lebron doleful, the
declaration – Let it be done according
to your word. (The Celtics
Freed to win the title this year).

Taylor, my romantic

Dating rejections from

like her gaunt, penurious people
enslaved. But babes your luminous
smile like Angels’ auras manifested
without notice, your blue eyes like
salutations spoken to me only

Starbucks, kissed me, an invitation
for hope to grow in my Virgin
Womb of joy; An offer to change
my world. Forever highly favored.

+-----Terry Rozier  And A Giant, Fallen

Terry, Lebron James is
a Philistine, a Giant mordant, six
cubits and a span, his pride
(Zero worry) like scale armor
weighty…5,000 shekels.  He
scoffs at the Celtics as champions
as Israel outmatched. But tonight,
your ball handling deft like a sling,
your  sly assists, dunks like 5 smooth
stones. When you jam on
Lebron, like a stone embedded
in his legacy’s head, deep. His
ring-hopes falling backwards flailing.
His sorrow like Goliath’s head in
your hands, dangled. 


------1 Samuel 17:34-46
But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.” Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. “I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off.  Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine. Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David. He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him. He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!” David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.

Taylor, my singleness is

The Lightning players like Philistines flanking,

The Basket And The Bush


* Spirit Of Jesus pray for me
* Moses, Aaron, Holy Church pray for me
* Saints pray for me
*  Dedicated to #IamMoses

+------The Basket And The Bush; Moses's Thoughts Upon Talking With God At Horeb

                      Sometimes I fancy its
the sheep grazing delirious
under the moon’s fullest
expression. I distinguish my
mother’s voice amidst their
braying…then a phantasm- I see
her eyes, face peering into the
papyrus basket, clenching the handle
not wanting me to meet the Nile
a baby…“Moses come back to me.”
And now, a Bush Burning
yet not consumed, her avatar,
 advising me, as God, to return
to Egypt to my people. Mom, soon,
I’ll be home. 

------Exodus 3:1-10
Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.

Alexander, bereft of your
ice-heroism, the Caps enslaved;
A Hebrew people debased…
the NHL playoffs like Egypt in all
of its sun-scorched-sand-Trophy-
less-precariousness: Jon Cooper
Pharaoh-esque, overseeing
the Tampa Bay Lightning as
taskmasters callous, taunts like rotted meats.
Their body checks, slashing like whips
flagellating bare backs. But tonight
your power shots, assists, and
skating will be 10 Plagues preceding
deliverance. Your power plays as
locusts, frogs, death of the first-born
of the Lightning’s championship hopes.
And when you score tonight’s OT goal,
freedom: the Red Sea of years’ losing
parting, you, the team apace on dry ground to
the Promised Land of the Stanley
Cup. Pharaoh and his army behind you drowning.

------Exodus 14:26-31
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained. But the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
So the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and His servant Moses.

Kyle Lowry Safe In The (Cavs's) Lions Den

+-----Kyle Lowry Safe In The (Cavs's) Lions Den

Kyle: after two grim wins
in Toronto, Tyron Lue, 
Kevin Love, JR Smith -
administrators and satraps
in the royal court obsequious,
weasels skulking for a night’s food–
have dared to promote a playoff
“sweep” decree. Anyone refusing
to bow to King Darius/ King James:
hurled into a loser’s den of lions
of Cavs's players’ mockery. And
your ball handling is defiance of the law.
Your court acumen, assists to Demar,
Valanciunas, saving faith, candlelit
in a higher basketball power encircled
by beasts. Your conversion
of tonight’s go ahead 3 pointer,
like lions bowing. (Tristan purring, the
heads of Korver, Clarkson, nestled
in your lap unharmed.) Tomorrow
King James will marvel (incredulous):
your playoff hopes are still alive!

------Daniel 6:6-23
So these administrators and satraps went as a group to the king and said: “May King Darius live forever! The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to you, Your Majesty, shall be thrown into the lions’ den. Now, Your Majesty, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.” So King Darius put the decree in writing. Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help. So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human being except to you, Your Majesty, would be thrown into the lions’ den?”
The king answered, “The decree stands—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.” Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.” When the king heard this, he was greatly distressed; he was determined to rescue Daniel and made every effort until sundown to save him. Then the men went as a group to King Darius and said to him, “Remember, Your Majesty, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.” So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!” A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed.  Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep. At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?” Daniel answered, “May the king live forever! My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.” The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

+-----Taylor Swift Walking On Water. To Take Tony Conti To Starbucks

Taylor, my dating life is
a boat, 12 men clasping
each other’s hands, a band
of brothers bound for the bed
of the sea swearing oaths
to honor in the next life. The waves
of loneliness buffeting, the
wind of other girls’ romantic
repudiation riotous. But babes!
I imagine you stately shortly
before dawn. Your hair the sun,
your blue eyes like mystic gems
hidden from man before his
creation, your smile divine…as
of one Virgin Born. You’d
come to me….ghostly…walking on
water like taming the impossible;
Like you taking me to Starbucks.
If we kissed, over coffee, you
inviting me to walk on water too.
Your smile like reaching out to save
me if I started to drown. To doubt.

------Matthew 14:22-33
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
