And Shalom, Chayam’s Husband

January 10, 2012


AND SHALOM, CHAYA’S HUSBAND

 

And Shalom, the husband of Chaya, was searching for her –

but my mother hid the body that was lying on the ground,

still and with child.

And Shalom, unaware of his loss, continued to search for her, passing on.

And his own ashes, while still looking, scattered among the ashes

of the rest of his brethren.

And Moses

on his way up there from down here to deliver a new tablet of the covenant

threw the tablet from his hand and broke it.

 

Translation: Linda Zisquit
