“…but the people became impatient on the way.” Numbers 21:4

God of Snakes,
Snakebites,
and Antidotes,
who turns into bronze
to be lifted on a pole,
such weird ways
can be found in the
wilderness.
Is the sin of impatience
worth death?
Look upon us
as we look upon you
to raise us into life
from this place
of being bitten down.
Amen.
