Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad
Gaté Gaté Pāragaté Pārasamgaté Bodhi Svāhā
Gone Gone Gone O my Body Gone Gone Beyond the Gate of No More
where all the birds have flown
afterdark aftersong Baruch HaShem where you are
beyond decision collision & the infinite curtain
stitching vein to Vine lice to lace lichen love to move
from poet to justice worship to warship man
slaughter to laughter bears & prayers abundance
to ambulance naked to be named from nowhere
to now here widow lifts window rabbi is river
devoured in vowels a dripping waterfall the heart’s blue wall
where all the birds have flown
Gate No More Beyond Gone Gone O Body Gone Gone Gone
Bodhi Svāhā Pārasamgaté Gaté Gaté Pāragaté
Echad Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Yisrael Shema
