This week Jews read of Aaron's death
High Priest made peace 'tween angry folks
Replaced their groundless hate with love
This week Jews also mourn the Temple
Destroyed because of groundless hate

turkety,  lurkety
Saul, king of Israel
green-eyed with envy shouts,
“I’ll cut your throat.”

groundless, irrational
obsessitivity.
David, the next king squeals,
“I cut your coat.”

Now I nourish words,
or the words nourish me!
Trust me now it's groundless,
as in each other's vicinity, we feel glee.

The haunt of an hour
        has found my depth

Softened in this groundless
        light.

Far from every written home

concealed deeply within.
Small particles released bit by bit.
The air is perfused with it's noxious wastes.
It permeates all.

The old man, 
Controlling the Development of the Contagion,
knew the plan and did not budge.
Who is more to blame
for the innocents who may suffer....
