Shall I Quote Certain Scriptures (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
About this poem
Of certain scriptures…Isaiah 10:3…Jeremiah 46:21…Jeremiah 50:27…Micah 7:4…And what could this possibly have to do with Jeremiah 11…Well…Read very closely between the lines after verse 19…As IF I am the lamb or ox of said verse…And my family was not the tree…keywords…visitation and perplexity…Wow…words seem to continue to vanish into thin air around here…
