Absalom
Fall,
flood, Babel;
and Abraham begat Ishmael,
and Isaac begat Esau,
and Jacob begat Judah,
and David begat Absalom,
the virus more resistant
in each generation.
O
Absalom,
O my son
the
cosmic shambles,
the unpronounceable
invisible YHWH,
ever faithful
destroyer of nations.
O my
children
be blessed
or else
