“And it came to pass at the end of two years, Pharaoh dreamt; and behold, he was standing by the Nile. \u00a0And behold, out of the Nile there came up seven cows, well-favored and fat-fleshed, which grazed among the reed-grass.” (Genesis 41:1-2)<\/span><\/p>\n

Seven cows, all fat,
\n<\/span>Emerging from Pharaoh’s dream,
\n<\/span>Come to graze in mine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cows bring with them
\n<\/span>The chief cupbearer’s goblet
\n<\/span>Filled with vintage wine.<\/span><\/p>\n

They bring three branches
\n<\/span>With clusters of purple grapes
\n<\/span>From the royal vine.<\/span><\/p>\n

They bring choice pastries
\n<\/span>The chief baker had prepared
\n<\/span>On which ravens dine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cows then lead me
\n<\/span>To a field with stalks of wheat,
\n<\/span>And a sacred shrine.<\/span><\/p>\n

On seven wheat stalks
\n<\/span>Sprout many ears of full grain;
\n<\/span>I count forty-nine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Above the cows’ shrine
\n<\/span>Where they who seek visions pray,
\n<\/span>Eleven stars shine.<\/span><\/p>\n

How long can dreams last?
\n<\/span>As I awake, I shudder,
\n<\/span>Tremors through my spine;<\/span><\/p>\n

In the dark, rats run;
\n<\/span>I hear a jackal’s howling
\n<\/span>And the grunts of swine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The seven lean years,
\n<\/span>Claws unsheathed, are now crouching,
\n<\/span>Waiting for a sign.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":103630,"id":103630,"title":"-62498b861cd42--62498b861cd43gen41-Tissot_Pharaoh's_Dreams.jpg","filename":"62498b861cd42-62498b861cd43gen41-Tissot_Pharaohs_Dreams.jpg.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/62498b861cd42-62498b861cd43gen41-Tissot_Pharaohs_Dreams.jpg.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/haikus-from-pharaohs-dream\/62498b861cd42-62498b861cd43gen41-tissot_pharaohs_dreams-jpg\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"62498b861cd42-62498b861cd43gen41-tissot_pharaohs_dreams-jpg","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":39585,"date":"2022-04-03
