Exit

                                                                  

Tonight, I find my self's diminutive spirit, diminished soul,

Groping for an opening in the cosmos,

Through which my ephemeral existence might exit,

Into the intimacy of Elohim's covenant of generous benisons,

Multifold mitzvot, myriad hallelujahs,

And endlessly resounding amens,

Hoping that when I expire, I'll be buried alive,

In the valley of death's shadow,

That capacious place swelling under the desert sun,

Where Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, and Solomon

Yet roam, rewriting the Old Testament,

Waiting for me to translate their skepticism

Into a wholly new testament.
