Dawn, the Third Day

Psalm 
0:7 "Then we said ‘Let's go to the throne  of the Lord and worship at his feet' " Paused in awe, wonder a daring disbelief/dawning belief hands raise to brush the buckle of his nose. Fingers itch to rub the coarse texture of beard; splay to comb smooth the  tangle of matted, sleep-tossed hair. And the woman, this woman does not dare—something there radiates beyond her understanding; kneels instead to hold the precious, naked feet— damp with dew, splattered with garden dust— and  tears she wipes away in memory with her unbound hair.
