+-----Steph Curry Streaking

Steph, your jumpshot
is a supernova divine,
across Bethlehem
(Oracle Arena) streaking,
a trail of stardust in memoriam.
Your teammates, coaches,
like 3 pagan men wise,
charting it across the desert
(Toronto) for 3-peat salvation;
As horses unsaddled and
sentimental - eyes closed –
running for the first time, truly.
And Kawhi Leonard is King
Herod unfeeling, scheming
murder to kidnap the The Larry
O'Brien Trophy, a miracle Baby
Virgin born, for himself. But
Klay’s defense, Draymond’s
rebounding, KD’s clutch genes-
gifts of gold, frankincense,
myrrh. Steve Kerr happy,
the oldest Magi holding baby
Jesus as if he were his own.

------Matthew 2:7-12
Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

+-----Taylor Swift and Tony Conti's Manger

Taylor, my heart, lonely
is three pagan men robed
and wise; searching Love’s cosmos
for a Star. For romance jumpy…
disquieted, rendered antiquity-
desert-vagabonds from
years of waiting for salvific
hope- a dating offer finally
acquiesced. Oh babes!
your smile is a streaking comet
on a chance night effulgent.
Your blue eyes like the
birthstones of the first
angels soaring above Eden.
If you took me to Starbucks
(Bethlehem), kissed me,
my gratitude bestowed on you
as gold, frankincense, myrrh
in a manger. Our first date like
a miracle baby Virgin Born a Savior.

------Matthew 2:7-12
Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.

+-----Taylor Swift's  Breath,  Tony Conti's Dry Bones

Taylor, my enslaved heart’s
a valley desiccated. My inert
dating life a great many bones
(of men) thereunto on the floor,
dry. But babes! your smile
like a prophet mighty in Babylon;
Staring down the wheel of
cruel girls’ romantic repudiation:
Nebuchadnezzar heinous.
Your blue eyes…priceless
gemstones on hilts of angels’
swords fighting. If you took me
to Starbucks, a sweet
admonition: “Dry bones, hear
the word of [your Bae]!” Like
the breath of life (from 4 winds)
filling me. Then if you kissed
me- tendons of hope attaching
to flesh of joy in my soul. My spirit’d
come to life, stand up on its feet-
Our Love a vast army alive.

------Ezekiel 37:1-10
The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

+------Haskins In Nineveh

Dwayne those minutes
in Nashville, as teams
drafted guys 1 through 14
…anxious: like your heart
sailing for refuge in Tarshish.
Each pick successive like your
soul shunted by a City’s crew
from the deck into the sea raging.
And your ego’s resentment,
swallowed whole- 3 days, nights,
in a whale's belly of public
debasing. But! the 2019
season will be your redress.
Every TD throw, every Skins
win like you storming the
league a proselyte in Nineveh
“forty more days and [your smugness]
will be overthrown.” When you
win the Superbowl, ROY-
the NFL’s repentance. All who
doubted you donning
sackcloth and dust- finally.

------Jonah 3:1-10
Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.” Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth. When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.” When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.

+------This Is It; Jonah's Words To The King Of Nineveh, Trembling

Believe me, I have
seen and heard things
previously unfathomed-
King David staring
into Goliath’s eyes
emptied before collapsing
at the feet of his cohort
of Philistines. Thrown overboard
into havoc’s deep, for 3 days
endless, (in a Whale’s Tomb)
I addressed, deliberated
with your flayed ghost pleading
for his nation’s rebirth
after death. I heard echoes
asleep of stampeding chariots,
tormented wailing of Assyrians.
Please, you have 40 days
to repent, rethink your ethos.
If not…I swear everything and
everyone here...will burn. 

------Jonah 3:1-10
Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.” Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh.

Why Are You Persecuting Me?

+------Why Are You Persecuting Me?; God's Words To Paul on Damascus's Road #Goads

I intuited it pretty early on
- a child, privileged,
inculcated in Platonic
idealism (Gamaliel), and
Roman Pride; I was Aeneas
seething
watching Troy burn
vowing revenge (but for
Hebrew oppression)–
a scintilla of whispers
in my soul at night:
“you were meant
for so much more.” They were
just flights of balderdash
until now- my horse lost and
deluded, scampering off
to Greece- me on my back blind.
Lying prostrate by a dust cloud
enshrouded…punching the air,
my teeth clenched, accusing
Christians of this. But now the Voice
louder, sonorous: “Saul,
you are not a murderer,
pedantic – You are Paul,
herald of God’s peace,
unifier of the entire world” 

------Acts 26:12-18
“On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. About noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
“Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. ‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me. I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

+------Taylor Swift and  Tony Conti On Damascus's Road

Taylor, my heart is
Saul bestride a horse
– lonely, rife with misgivings,
disaffected. On Damascus’s
(singleness’s) road livid;
full of invectives for cruel girls’
treatment of my prior dating
overtures - Heretics Of Love.
Commissioned by chief
priests of amorous despair
to rail against their Way, the
blasphemy. But babes!
Your smile is a blaze of light
from heaven striking my mourning
blind. (My horse of bitterness
standing on hind legs crazed)
Your laughter, sweet, like Romance
chiding “[Tony, Tony]
why do you persecute me?”
If you took me to Starbucks,
stared into my eyes, like a
pronouncement of our fate
together: “It is hard for you
to kick against the goads.”
Like you whispering:
“Stop chasing after other
girls and resisting me,
I am your Bae.”  "And you are Paul."

------Acts 26:12-18
“On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. About noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
