Ruach HaKodesh*
Like a poem this season is written
Summer's heat zig-zags across nighttime sky
The air cloys dank and close with its sweat
An owl fans his wings and talons to prey
Ceiling blades whirl a dervish dance
their prayer mantra uttering relief
Thunder reverberates in the dark
while spirit yoga asanas are assumed
in room's shadow metamorphosing as
animals grayly illuminated through pane
Breathe in
Breathe out
Cosmic breath writes this poem
