      CHAPTER 8

      BARUCH: At first it was only the faintest rain

      D: I know that first bit. After you make that first right turn I don’t know—

      F: So pretty but I had to take them off directly after. They really hurt my feet—and I was not stable.

      C: As soon as I touched her I knew it was on

       An umbrella goes up.

      A: I said to him I said:

      BARUCH: now it’s a sluice of fists beating again and again

       Umbrellas go up, and protective newspapers.

       Rain on the roof.

       Ebediah is near.

       under thine armholes under the cords

       and we will draw you up, from the pit

       To King Zedekiah:

       We threw down old cast clouts and rotten rags

       under your armholes, and we will draw you up,

       and he did so

       And then we threw down the cords

       with cords

       Jeremiah is drawn up and brought before the king.

       He is drenched in mire.
