If the first
and broken
did not recall you,
I will remind them;
if it never did,
it never will.
ישראל
Do not
forget the
sense of self
you found in your
paradise
My sobbing child
and original self
watch the controlling one
in unison
Decision
How does it feel to fall?
To drown?
To melt?
I unfold
for you.
To greater love
and greater kindness.
A wish for blooming
forests to
surround our palace.
Do not go too far
as you may forget
where you want to be
the place you
always searched for.
With one match,
you light the entire world
leaving only pieces
of your self
at the center of the bone.
Sound your alarm
the birds will listen
and echo the noise back.
Although I have forgotten you,
I will always remember
your voice.
Surprise us
with all of you,
your opened veins
cut
to the floor.
But take your
blood with you.
I wonder if night will not keep me, if day will forget me. I am afraid of losing my youth, and still to revisit it. Keep me, keep you. Keep us together.
Unburden
Hashem
relieves me
of my pain.
A prayer.
Words of gratitude.
The sweet sound
of your smile.
The taste
of Shema.
