Refuge

on Isaiah 9:2b-7 and cities of no refuge:
    Tehran, Baghdad, New York, Sarajevo, Beirut, Hanoi, Selma, Nagasaki…


 The decades pass; put princeling’s promised peace to rout.

The warriors’ tramping boots their martial cadence count

dawn to day to dusk to dark by sighs.

At last, along with each year’s end, arise

again our hopes:  this Child, this light, God’s prize.
