At times God would speak
in thunder, like a cracking whip
screaming into a flesh-flapped back.
It was simple to hear
through the hundreds of opened
ears weeping blood. A miracle
optioned out to the weakest minds.
All one had to do was stand there,
arch and dance
with wrists lashed
to a salt pillar, all for the sin
of saying goodbye.

Arch or arc? A salty dilemma.
