Dear Ryfkah,
I have to agree with Sue. Lines such as:
"White light bounds
a gold crown dances"
really intrigued me, but I was having trouble making it all fit together.
I've got nothing against keeping things a bit cryptic, but I'm afraid I need
a bit more of a clue.
Having said that I've just read it through a couple more times and like the
sound of it more and more, so maybe it's just going to take a while for it
to percolate through my brain!
Regards,
Matt

Atonement

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take
but by the number of moments that are breathtaking.  -Anonymous

The goat released to the wilderness

I put on white shoes
the ones Mary gave me
because they didn't fit

The men wear their kittels
buried in tradition
married to women
kept in the home
out of the wilderness

Dreams of barbecue
banana splits
candy bars
even hard boiled eggs

Who by earthquake
Who by fire
Who by sword
Who by AIDS

We plead pardon

White light bounds
a gold crown dances

My soul recreated
