Na/GloPoWriMo Day 11 Blackout Poem

A Covenant People


so we became
Image by Marthalsermon Art
 a covenant people
people of the scorching wind
struck by the sun people who
cut through mountains
come from afar
beside springs of water
or not

yea
an amnesiac people
can a mother
forget her infant? 
be without
the child of her
womb? 

i will never forget you

people 
become story
word aloud
become scrolls
become 
sung from


Inspired by and snipped from Isaiah 49:8-15
