Lyrics
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.
