Isaiah the prophet stood upon a lowly hill with
two fists full of earth and fire in his mouth
his eyes abounding with the sight of God
John the preacher went down into the water
and the river curled around his dirty toes
The dead man Lazarus lifted up his cloth-swathed
head and walked into the world
The hand of God is a shaping hand caked
with mud and clay and dust
The word of God is a killing word
and a word of resurrection
