The J Horoscope : Poems

Look. A woman is writing on parchment, a scroll.* We don?t know her name. Her king, Solomon, has died, and the whole country?s going to hell under the new king, Rehoboam. The year is 937 BCE. Banished from the ring of political power, she grounds herself by collecting the kingdom?s ancient stories. Of the four writers in Genesis, J is the one who delivers the earthly creatures?Noah, Joseph, Jacob, Rachel, et al?and, to paraphrase Pogo, they is us. Her cast of characters includes the god Yahweh (or Jahweh) who can appear in various guises. She?s named J for her intense interest in Yahweh?s character.
