Song Seven

songs are fading;


a prayer book is near

-- etched cover --

Tehillim. Interlinear translation.


The Psalms

the salve


and


saved? ...No! No!


(...no ___no...)


...an answer for the Old Guy?


we don’t know; we won’t know

until the appointed time.


clearer now,

as Seattle clouds

roll in.


he knows ( ... He can see it ... )


It is clear in the gloaming,

unchanged by atmospherics.


Meshuggah. Goodbye Jerusalem.
