What is abstruse and foreign
Vessel of every ancient breath
This would have been enough
What is history and myth and hybrid
What stands at the cuspMarks a transition,
an evolution and unfolding of self-consciousness
This
would have been enough
What is contradiction
What is intersticeWhat is fragment, incomplete
and source of all man’s theology
This would have been enough
What is inexhaustible
of exegesis and every hermeneutic
Deconstructed to brittle letter
dismissed and fed to burning stacks
and found again and held up–oh my Torah
This would have been enough
But when I read:
“Never again will I curse the earth because of man”This is enough.
