our spouses charm, befouled, she religiously observed,

      chose to cover her hair, brought new men in subjection

      strong made weak & our great seal of Sion

      set in the hands of those which hate;

      honoured house when Gaon conducted prayer

      is demolished, relieved to the level with our despair

      expound, expound, the vinestocks lie untended

      our scarlet flower is cast on the stone-white stone

      in the mirror of memory have been said that I radically

      rendered bone of our bone, instructed between we then

      prayed a sickly prayer to the violent dead woman

      witness the courageous slashing themselves with blades

      time is the evil, evil, a day & a day

      that after famine called back all the people

      to evil & further evil, a curse cursed on our children

      the huntress in broken plaster keeps vigil no longer

      on the haze-misted breasts of Helen in the ghetto

      descending of Aaron in which the other war

      a man is dead, another one decomposed, a dull end

      & the life ignites, moon shining on naked hills

      as for us & of art & art, you have expressed, beauty

      to arouse under which the least suspicions will expect

      of a darkened sun, an illustration of the bright jets

      was covered, bent, up to now far away from the dark

      that does commit to us, complete, in our fathers;

      as for mathematics, on the other hand & of the eye

      grave of the human seen from the earth – the wall

      & which the tree becomes, the stove & where the paint tree

      the punishment thing takes off & ecstatic falls,

      inoperative child & torn, rejected, all its unwept

      & rips in the ritual conjunct where carries all sins

      which the pillar of Abraham reaches great climax

      was calculated installation installed

      authentic opinion is impossible to restore

      I conducted you through & sea, at the beginning

      gave to you soft passage, Moshe for the leader of

      & Aaron for the priest; I gave to you light

      in the fire, great interests they have made I among you,

      but for forgot me & is triumphed not in my name

      for destroying your enemies; I had a pity on your mournings,

      gave to you a bread of angels, cleft the rock for your water,

      covered you with leaves; I shared among you the fruitful earth,

      he threw outside those that squandered there,

      evicted from their homes & families

      legal conflict for property rights debating

      but you blaspheme my name, would not obey

      the poet who composed the Torah as a soldier might,

      believing in concrete truths, absolute & absolve

      as if by you requested I shall not hear

      at any time your hand which has the blood to commit

      your foot slaughter was quick & made unclean, you are not,

      were it like, the writing as each one your oneself go back on;

      now when you provide I will rotate my face to go

      your solemn feast meal crescent moon, your circumcisions

      I revoke; I dispatched to your mine prophet, you kill, bodily

      their organism tears from your hand which demands their blood;

      your house is desolate, chilly wind the stump will expel

      one as you, your children the fruit is not opened

      was the thing plentifully, badly despised the commanded work;

      your houses are communicated to a people yet to come

      in order to witness will decrease believing

      certified who small they with faith are glad for gladness

      intention of the blower is critical to hearer

      if mitzvah is legitimate, if perhaps he stands still

      & the intentionally burned through horn hears for the command

      held, to be fulfilled the person, who should the shofar

      on Rosh Hashanah in Torah is likewise learned

      fear of the God of the ram of a cloud leaks out

      to the ancient, those on the verge, too smitten

      with reverence in order perhaps it is thought to tremble

      the horn announces the seventh month, Tishri the first day

      you will oversleep from your moral sleep

      it finished there to be Sanhedrin

      & your conduct searches which become best

      you can, shall investigate fearfully,

      shofar should not sound in Shabbat

      in shul & bes-medresh we occupy these text

      this connection we, fully on the longing,

      to our fathers (yea, & ye mothers also),

      the cross-over canyon from the dream, cannot rise

      in the bilateral frightened dreamer’s life

      to our fathers’ fathers’ desire: it is not we so are interested

      in physics & mathematics, rather this Einstein

      is the sign we crave of present life to look

      that uses grave & upwardly from earth’s naked eye

      to use the star report the heaven blood so far,

      a sun’s strange glimpsing which eclipses,

      a strange flash of shaded helium, picture of bent light beams,

      removed up to now from the dreary oppressive

      of life, dreams float in air, shtetl visions of Chagall

      the woodcarving tradition which delivers

      at the duration of centuries reached

      at a formidable climax in the throne of Solomon

      carved in many components by Aaron Chait from Kelmé,

      that life, which is transferred in regard to love,

      a very sculptural incorporation of architectural elements,

      animals & representation in more than 200 dolls

      had mounted in the one cut & scholar, to gather on behalf
