Theories and Laws of Living
white light
electromagnetic waves
ultraviolet blue
infrared energy
and between
Elul vibrates Forgiveness begs
forgiveness G-d blacks out
forces our search for light
We stand at Sinai hear the voice of
Alef the radio still signaling our century
All wait for harmony
frequency
found
resonating
sound
walls
tumble
On the east coast electricity halts
Millions wander a darkened desert
The governor says its not
a catastrophe just an inconvenience
An old man dies of
hyperthermia A woman labors in
sweat Trees shade the exiles
icecaps melt
storms surge
crops disease
seas rise
My children leave home like worms on a rainy day
I gather the hours walk from one blank room to
another The sun genuflects in mauve splendor
A little night music charms the air
I wonder what to have for dinner tonight
