At One-ment
… —Yom Kippur, 9/22/15
To find the means to a mend
To try a new take to forsake a mistake
To unfold the past and straighten its bend
To un-muddy a pool and make it clear
To lift the flat rock of our self and let the sun do its work
To yank the inside out and give it some air
To make a whole man of the stuff of a jerk
To morph a long fall into a hairpin turn
To lance a boil and do what’s best for us
To kindle the badly done and watch it burn
To unbury the past and make its corpse a Lazarus
To sew a split in one cloth now two
To impossibly do what the humble do
To end a grudge and make us whole again,
atonement then
.
