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.
