HaShem (the Lord) is my shepherd; I shall not want.
\nHe maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.
\nHe restoreth my soul; He guideth me in straight paths for His name’s sake.
\nYea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
\nThou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
\nSurely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of HaShem (the Lord) for ever.<\/p>\n

(Psalm 23: 1-6)

Christ by the dumpster
\npeeling and tossing your lottery tickets –
\noh Nazarine drinking dust,
\noh Christ rising and falling,
\noh Jesus Christ giving us the finger
\nin “Christ au tombeau”<\/a>,<\/p>\n

bless please the people in art galleries
\nlonely as a distant train. Bless now
\nthe cancer of the bone, the last light making
\nbeautiful the poisons in the sky –<\/p>\n

and the condemned man in his tuxedo dream,
\nhis dreams of limousines and innocence,
\ntake off your clothes and come to him in dreams,
\nstand on the fire escape naked and bless
\nwith jazz like a rivulet of codeine
\nthe laughter spilling from our broken necklaces.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
