manna
in the desert where we lived in tents
we had no need for meat
but lived on manna from the blessed one's hand
enough only for each day
but we longed for the food we left behind
and wished to trade for our own fish and leeks
and the flesh of our young goats
tamed and loving
and now we, longing again for those days
that we may be sustained only
by the love
