Antediluvian Rainbows and Other Poems (in progress)

10/7/23

I suppose,
we need this mess,
to find things in;
an emergent piece,
of an emerging peace,
on the 8th day,
which was the first day,
again.

Angelus Novus (2024)

O Yisrael,
your name means struggle.
The Name!
The Name!

O Yisrael,
your name is their kampf.
Come and see,
this solemn dialectic.

O Yisrael!
You are what you are!
You you will be what you will be!

As Yaakov wrestles the Angelus Novus…

While Standing on One Foot

In the beginning…Names!
And They called out in the wilderness…words.
