Very Lucky, Sure (Mazoltov)
8-15-18

Rejecting all humanity
Hard act to follow
Big shoes to fit
But for what but to crack the walnut
As poverty is unattractive as the yearn
Spending another red cent on you
Beautiful and dark hours before the daylight
As endings to a thing are but an interruption among Poles and Irishmen
All under the same sun taking shelter from the night tag pinned as Esther becomes a part
Of you multitude our little garden of little space
O, give me your poor
To whom much is given much is required
As brought back from my reverie.....







Swallowed Whole

O, to brush off the skill
And to rush off to your thrill
Stay yourselves and wonder
Praying for a brother from Arkansas in a hayloft
When Gittel was still a little girl
As to spear a trout
Worry causes as to swallow the lump in ones own throat
Summer stars are falling as to become the entrepreneur less apprehensively
Why even bother so says the devil
Weal unto Ariel between ones captors
By which my stomach subsides unbelievable but I believe.....






Bubeleh And Zayde
8-15-18

wake up Gittel
Time to head on out to get what I need
Bothering to observe the ordinance of faith
As an island in the setting sun as consoled
Half moon high on a calm resolve for some time now
Having ones Chutzpah to steal another man's bread
Given signs of hope and then something terrible in allegory of parable
As couched beneath it
Jacob mumbled and quickly ran to the door
To let a friend in having further to fly
Yes, at least that you haven't touched your potatoes
Finding this house vacant as Moroni recounts.....






Handkerchief

As it must needs be that some have faith of a mustard seed
We all have our story to tell in our own legacy of where we come from
Of My Bubeleh and Zayde for iced-tea and lemonade
Finding Jacob sleeping for the sign at Mendlebaum's
As Ether cometh forth with a small man and his sparse head
Preparing to keep the Sabbath holy
Fascinated by their masterpieces
Don't you look back now for Tallis and Yarmulkah
As touching the princes of his raiment yours alone.....






As Condensation Drips
8-15-18

As to bind the wood
And find you in the neighborhood
Let it rain cutting thumbs deeply
What are you going to do to stop it
Quite excruciating O love molasses upon spiritual fulfillment
And a sign in Mendlebaum's window
Another awning all by condensation staining this page
Falling demurely below until it was time to go
Not just an employee as to register another rebirth
For deeps and rushes as separation was an agony
Ether comes forth by faith
The law of Moses is given in the creases and the shadows
As I console Ariel....
