a white horizontal bride

floating

the blue fiddler

the deep plunging notes of him

like a memoir

the rabbi in all of us the one the other

everyman

a diaspora

the things arranged in a way as particular as the universe we think is ours

it cheats us at every turn like a fool on the stage of heroes

as if moral law is struck down by historical law at every turn

for the disenfranchment of the weak in favour of kings

cometh the day cometh the freedom of fools

and upon this many verdicts will turn

like fragile autumn leaves speed

and in the dying of them frost
