in completely divesting of the gold chains
Losing it all ... casting away

with faded green shingles
and boarded-up windows,
a sad feeling overwhelmed us;
many times we helped her
to cut down the thick grass

Just for some time to pass away.

Spoke well too, seemed a decent sort.

Deadly fissures of division ... tolerance of others’ 
different faith gathering space
is divided by hate

Almodad synagogue sadness
is the latest menorah light 
extinguished by ancient dust clouds
A shifting sky of perpetual, roiling anger ...
thundering cataclysmic crypt...

Of Thy removal of all my pain.

What We Deserve!

Mother's milk, a sucking child,
Full of bull, and running wild,
