Lassu', 01-01-14
…
Lassù,
ove si perdono i cieli.
Vetta…
Elevata…
Ai tuoi piedi,
GUERRA!
Disputata.
Miseri esseri
tentano,
tentennano,
precipitano
su nuda terra
insanguinata.
Lassù,
ove non s’ode suono.
Vetta…
Elevata…
Dea.
PAURA
del vuoto!
Terrorizzata
dallo stuolo
di belve
fameliche
che l’attende
al suolo.

The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 12, 13 and 14
Part Twelve — Saeed Meets Giti
He reached her street, his senses fled,
As if his earthly time had sped.
The wind arose with scents so rare,
Her fragrance floating on the air.
He knew by grace of heaven above
That near him dwelt his truest love.
Swift as the breeze, to her he came,
With trembling heart and soul aflame.
Before her face

14 Coursing!
14 Coursing!
Reflection one,
Gematria is revealing,
14 is “Dai”, enough, done?
Tzoros are healing,
Rav C. Shumulevitz wrote “Con”,
Or “With” feeling “Busha”
For your missed mission,
Tzoros have done annealing,
Are no longer needed? Redundant?
14 also is “Zahav” or Gold,
Precious as a watershed?
Wisdom from Tzoros’ toll?
Speaking, thus the rock bled?
Small steps, downsize the goal,
Reframe anguished cries instead,
Wishful thinking? Fatigue taking hold?
Mussar to

Before I Woke - May 14
A girl,(her long baby blue dress,)was sat
a pace behind me(golden earrings gleaming);
She smiled(her waterfalling hair fell streaming)
to me as I turned to her(eyes!)and at
(her freckles sparkled)a glancing cue to chat
(in her rosy lips)went teasing,—we scheming—
(a grinning wink,)—one kiss, then two or(dreaming),
who was the mouse? moreso, who was the cat?
At dinner,(candles lit her flickered face,)

14-5-2025 Days Spent On A Draft
From the outside it might look like my life has improved,
But in spite of how I like to be viewed,
I’ve never had to bite my tongue as often as I have in these last few months.
Just gotta chew on my words like food.
On the Southside of the city view,
The lights on the

Ode to Destruction - Apr 14
Though matter may not be destroyed, the form
must be deformed; absolute fluidity
demands—with absolute rigidity—
that bonds made break free from an unstable frame.—
Erratic molecules and particles swarm
beyond the confines of lucidity;
But we, in stupor (and stupidity),
(poor things), give to fluidity a name…
I mean to say: Destruction is a must!
For,—given that something new’s to be built—,
creation draws

14 Heartbeats to Death
The void sings to me every night
It's lullabies promise peace, freedom from plight
I know it desperately, desperately tries
To make me listen to it's lies
I hear it sometimes, in the trees
It whispers softly, in the breeze
I see it sometimes, in my bedroom
It shows me visions of my tomb
It haunts my dreams in every

Press On To Win Your Spiritual Prize - Philippians 3: 12-14
Be humble in your personality
knowing the prize set before you
humanly speaking it seems impossible
but God is calling what you are to do
Perfection can't be found in this life
so make no claim to have done so
but make it your constant aim
that godly traits to consistently show
The Apostle here speaks plainly
that Christ Jesus held him true
to follow
