Poem in 3 Parts

(one)

Do dream a dream
Seeing unseen
the place of vision
unkown
(B)locked (?)
by
stone
too
great to move
Inside the G-d-mind
no feat is undone
groves of flocks
sprouting
..unsung..
lost and away
his/her (!?!) soul did
fly
jumped
after
this
yet
to die is
life in the
world of Rachel

(two)

Glimmering shining
Cunning, conniving emes
sheker
open
to
debate

(I've heard) Reb Shlomo said it'
s never too late
{to straighten out the lies from the truth
Rachel refined from Laban uncouth}
[There's]
Hope from a well
Waters, stones
life of worlds
(flesh and bones?)
Pits of pearls
a grito, a cry

(listen!!!) nu?

(three)

Love unbounded
" " unsounded
looking to
\| you. …maybe?
I hope so.

lust in the season of sleep, s.m.panzer, 6 Kislev 5764

into the depths of her night
comes the year. cinching covers
over her head for the waiting,
swelling with dew, she would that
her Hermes cunning turns
the quilted lofts down and draws
shimmer forth in ascending
descending her waters.

but what kisses-beyond beyond the Temple
bound in narrow straights, the treacherous
hero is tossed against arguing stones. the rock
needs break wide with spring before
before she offers her increase.

till then the year increases her offering-where is he of the dark
-imagining forth? has the gold-fleecing heal-
er laddered upon some ungodly princess? Now
is the season of coming, the time for the sewing
of latencies. Winter would tighten concealing
vapors of vapor soft down round
around neck of virgin perpetual.
Time, on your chariot into the depths even
as your hanging fruits dust and your lambs
diminish about their shanks
in-station your heart pure flame.

Love of Israel be poured oil unto
a pillar like the ark's shaft of light,
Israel lay head to ballasts and dream
yourself forth over these waters
shining generations.

(5764)
