…and the thing was suddenly taken up to heaven. Acts 10:16

Divine Deliverer, who brings down "something like a large sheet"
filled with "all kinds of four-footed creatures and reptiles and birds of the air",
a miraculous menu for all to consider,
voicing from above the earthly table,
“What God has made clean, you must not call profane,”
send more of that sheet,
as we failed, for the fourth time,
to read your writing in the heavens.
For upon its removal, the earthly author
turned
the dream of your holy arrangement
into a disappearing act,
even calling the dream,
"the thing."
Amen.
