What a loaded question to explore: “Do you come in peace?” This poem has such powerful and haunting imagery, an impressive “galloping” rhythm, and expresses so well the tensions between: “the wonder and the reckoning,” peace and judgment, laughter and horror, etc. Not to mention the New Testament allusions. Well done!
Thank you for connecting Jezebel to her fellow- Syrophoenecian relative who asked Jesus for scraps from the table. It makes me wonder if the demon afflicting the later woman's daughter could be associated with the earlier woman's devotion to Baal and Asherah.
