Haiku of
authority
At Capernaum
he entered the
synagogue,
and taught the
people.
They were astounded
he spoke with
authority;
most unusual.
A man most troubled,
(an unclean spirit,
they said),
cried out in
anguish.
His question was
good:
What have you to do
with us?
We wonder the same.
He does not answer.
Speaks firmly,
commands silence,
casts the spirit
out.
Now they are amazed.
His word has
authority;
what’s its origin?
From where has he
come?
The speculations
mount up;
his fame increases.
