A Burning Bush
That Wasn’t
“Vadam, et videbo visionem hanc magnum, quare non
comburatur rubus”
-Exodus III
I was not herding Jethro’s flocks on Horeb
But merely walking for pleasure along the road
And like Moses I saw a burning light
And turned aside to see what it might be
There with my stick I pushed aside a bush
And beheld, sparkling in the morning sun
Flung into place by some man’s mighty arm
And not decayed or dimmed by weather or time
A beer can
