Ha'azinu

from Shir haYam the open question pends
are there contenders for the cloud-based throne?
two poems form har Sinai's paired bookends
there is no God but God, and He alone
the Wilderness pericope's complete
save for the bit where Moses just can't go
the Jordan crossing reprises the feat
the RedSea witnessed forty years ago
the poem's witness stands, when Moshe's gone
new generations only have to look
now Joshua must lead the People on
and revelation's channeled through the Book
the journey to the Jordan from the sea
must start and end in epic poetry
