“They are not put to shame in evil times; in the days of famine they have abundance.”
In Kerith ravine
cooled by shade
Elijah went hiding
to ride out the famine.
God sent ravens
to come to his aid
with a daily ration,
these creatures who
neither sow nor reap
bearing gifts of
bread and meat,
and this with water
from the trickling brook,
morning and evening.
and it was good.
