Five More Poems by Peter Menkin The Melody Of The Bible Spoken And Said (2000) You cause my yearnings, speakers so fluid as doves lovely messengers, you bring me to desire the Gospel words that make New Testament. Desire to hear of Him, those fruits given with mercy, healing in his blood, “joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head.” (CAPTION) A Chasidic boy enters a shop in the Measherim, Jerusalem Photo: Rick White ©2004
