Line-dancing with Heschel

Andrew Miller

Help me, on the dance floor,
not to dismiss, deny,
nor denigrate the every day
happy hour, the cowboy
hats, the boots, the flags,
the bulging mechanical bull.
When you lean towards the DJ,
and the DJ is listing the steps,
half-turn, sailor, sailor,
kick, kick, and hips! Heschel,
help me hold your vision,
we’re making holy time.
