Questions to Tammy Ditmore (tammy.ditmore@pepperdine.edu)

In the Latest Issue of Christianity & Literature:

What is
Given

Julie L. Moore

As though Moses himself
is standing high
upon this
Rocky Mountain cliff
poised to proclaim
once again God's law,
cars and SUVs pull over,
line up along both sides
of the national park's
concrete curve, cameras
angling, people pointing,
awestruck by a
simple white goat,
her beard and horns
marking her, unmoved
by all the commotion
hundreds of feet below.

She's just standing
where she's safe,
where her kid,
half-hidden by her side,
entices the crowd
that hungers for more
but must be satisfied,
always,
with what is given.
