Burnt

On a deep taupe, the chief rabbi of Otaniemi

wrote angry words to god complaining about Odd Nerdrum

if only there were extra vowels in his name

I would withdraw

But hey, he wrote back,

I got you some Oolong leaves

2-3 minutes, 85-90 C

need not wait

there is little taste in the first sip

change the font

God, Ethiopian,...

his wife had an affair

plans to grow tea

Incapable of dying for love of a gelding

may secretly steal
from an oral history which had hitherto 
belonged to them

to
furnish our rabbi's grief
with more cups
