Wow, so well done. I've enjoyed all of these so much, but this is my favorite! So powerful and insightful and moving.

Thank you, Sierra! The series continues on my own substack, if you're interested -- Monafolkspeak.

Thanks, Chuck! This is the last one that the Rabbit Room’s Poetry Substack will be sharing. But I’ve got 6 more on my Substack, Monafolkspeak, if you want to read those there, and I’ll begin sharing even more of them after Advent, too.

I feel Elisha's loneliness and a quavering in his heart. I feel the heat of the desolate place.

A "heavy" cloak, for sure. A shield and glory for the nation still wavering between two opinions. Thank you.
