People of The Book and of Books

 

The Thought became Incarnate in Judaea

And thoughts become incarnate in the books we read

For thoughts are tabernacles of our hopes

Tents in the deserts of our wanderings

 

Our dreams worked out in careful lines of ink

Tippy-tap-typed on a computer screen

Or copied from those tablets in the Sinai

Then bound by an artist’s hands, and placed in ours

 

The Thought became Incarnate in Judaea

Our thoughts become incarnate in the books we write
