A Little Something for the Season of Light
Lighting Sabbath Candles
The flames claw the wall before they take their shape/
I put out every fire in my mind/
the flame throwers/
the furnaces/
the burning witches/
until I see the bush of/
Sinai and meditate on Moses/
raised with leisure
to think/
the significance of Sabbath rest/
The G-d of Abraham
has made a working brain/
Moses carved onto the rock/
the outpouring of genes/
The fire is reality/
Bless bless the wick
of conflagration in our
furious planet.

From my typewriter,
paper explodes like popcorn

the scattered limbs of stories
words overflow the room
slip through windows
my lawn looks snowy,
out of season
neighbors are curious
tv crews arrive
people I never met
are interviewed about my habits
waded in drifts,
they are reading
while the police ponder
what charges to bring
against a writer
who will not stop
writ…
