“A Psalm of David," “Commonwealth," and “The Paper Bridge"
A Psalm of David
When I, who
is perishing,
complain, You
reply, You can
perish. True.
Commonwealth
After the cherries blossom
and before the apple blossoms,
Joseph being already in Egypt,
sun caught on the other
side of South Mountain,
you shake like the last drop
of water in the faucet,
carry stale bread with you,
hide from your usual thoughts,
resemble your brothers.
The Paper Bridge
R’ Salaht People run
by, bodies
like
factories,
conclusion,
knot,
abscissa.
They think
something
immeasurable,
set fire to
something
important.
R’ Aschre But, like you said,
the paper bridge.
