The Second Antiphon

house of Israel, who appeared to
Moses in the burning bush and
gave him the Law on Sinai: come
with an outstretched arm and
redeem us.
The Meditation
The Law sculpts our sin
in bas relief. We trace
its outline, rehearse
its shape, feel once again
its heft.
We cannot rest easy
watching Moses face
the heat of the bush,
removing his shoes
on hallowed ground.
Our shoes remain.
We are rooted here
but desperate to weave
in and out for old
advantages.
We crave release,
the spring of warmed
muscles, Adonai’s
arm outstretched.
Redemption.
We await him.
Come, Lord Jesus.
