TZVI

The first time he’s picked up, he accepts it as the will of G-d. The Torah teaches: Torah is the way. Torah steers the righteous, the simple, and wicked. Is he testing G-d or being tested? Whatever he gets he deserves. The car slows to a stop. The upholstery is unclean. There are more men in the back, snorting like rutting beasts. At first, he looks out the window as darkly the world goes by. Is he more alone in banishment or belonging? Who can choose? Drugs. Money. What’s wanted is his body. The second time, he will not spill seed. The third, he submits to a hierarchy of violence. To the rape of his payos by pocket knife. His side curls, shorn, look like a pig’s tail. He does not fight or scream. The fourth time, he asks: What kind of G-d? He can no longer breathe through his mouth. He does not want. He chokes down tears. Where is G-d now? Infinite, everywhere. Trembling on the fifth, he swallows.
