AT THE ENTRANCE OF HEAVEN AND THE GATE IS UNLOCKED

you don't have to brag about the mitzvahs you do.
that is not how the world is settled.
You don't have to take a dollar for every job well done.
That is not how the world grows old.


LIFE SHADOW IN STILL LIGHT

The carcass is a meadow.
Love bugs and slugs,
maggots and an incessant humming.
Tourniquets are built with these materials.
