Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt,
and stay there until I tell you.
(Mt 2:13)
The Flight into Egypt
How could
Joseph
who was nurtured
on cedar odors
the
ring of hammers
hitting
iron nails
who felt the
grain
of wood and
the
bite of the
saw
against wood
fashion a journey
which
had neither
the
sound nor feel
of
what he had known
