thirty-two


“‘Let me bring a little bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—since you have come to your servant.’”  Genesis 18:5

when
we welcome an immigrant
to our neighborhood,
we offer a gas card
to the traveler at the door,
give a glass of cold water
to the thirsty stranger,
we may just be greeting
you, O God,
in the forest of Mamre
