Bread and fire spread on
the mountainside
Bread in our mouths and
fire in our hearts, so we ran from him
Landay is a couplet, or running couplets with a 9/13 rhythm. I fell in love with this form - it invites you to speak with an edge of grief, or anger, or displacement. Used by many women in regions where I have not walked, have not lived, to speak of things I have not experienced. Found myself taking the perspective of those who walked away from Jesus in these difficult conversations.
