Three Poems of Rivka Miriam

IN THE BEGINNING // Rivka Miryam
In the beginning God created
the heavens that really are not
and the earth that wants to touch them.
In the beginning God created
threads stretched between them
between the heavens that really are not
and the earth crying out.
And the man he created
the man who is a prayer and a thread
touches that which is not
with a touch of softness and light.

BEYOND THIS
I bumped into the cat that came from beyond all this.
It was so dead it crossed its death and was alive again.
Here, it howls. What does it wish to say that I haven’t heard.
