Issac looked up at his father from where he lay, bare

oil rubbed into his olive skin.

They had walked the path at sunrise, together. Abraham wore each step with pain as he climbed, hands folded about the white linen parcel that he bore and the dawn chorus seemed to him a lament

The boy had not understood

but followed all the same, his footsteps falling in unison.

Now filled with joy tears blessed Abraham's cheeks in rivers that would never cleanse him as he cried his thanks to the heavens above

Issac rose from that stone slab and ran retracing his steps past

the goats and the olive trees and the scree and scrub and passed his home and past everything he knew and into the lands beyond

He ran until his feet bled and lights danced before his eyes

stumbled

fell

and as he lay in the heathen dust he thanked only himself for the distance laid between his bones and our father

and he wondered if the knifes command had been for Abraham, would they still have made that dawn ascent?
