heavenward. We travel with the rest of the world,
with its atrocities, its piles of ruins, scars of barbed wire,

of Mass, the tumult of Torah. We travel
through eagles of death, dilution of earth in rivers,
in eulogies, through marble, we travel through the silk
of evening, our hearts like bonfires in the dark.

the stopping at night, the aching body,
