Spiritual

Letter to the Lord

Lord quite innocent of what it is to live\nbound in paper, bound in steel,\nbound in the incredible ignorance supplied\nby irony and suffering — how are You?

Psalm

like a skin on milk\nI write to you

Poem: Return to the Stone of Losses

We stood as she instructed around the stone of losses,\ndeclared what we had found\nand waited for other Jews to claim it.

Poem: Grandchild

I take her to the park, I swing her in the little swing\nHelp her on the slide, lotion her face and arms against the sun\nShe runs around in her little bluejeans

Poem: After Life

Every time we mention the dead\nI feel their weight on the mattress\nindentations — never been flipped.
