Nursing Jehovah
Poem
Humble handmaiden,
how does it feel to nurse
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
at your breast?
He who fed your fathers
for forty years in the wilderness
tugs at your nipple. You center it on his tongue
so he doesn’t bite. The Lion of Judah
nurses like a lamb.
Sweet milk drips
from the corners of his puckered mouth.
He eagerly drains this cup.
