LI.

Fire is 1/60 of hell, honey is 1/60 of the manna, Shabbat is 1/60

of the World to Come, sleep is 1/60 of death, & dreams 1/60 of prophecy.

LII.

Pollen is everywhere.

Blossoms are at the very edge

of becoming & there is no more winter

(global warming is destroying our idea of what we’ve come to know),

except for the winters of our memory, winters where the girl

in the blue snowsuit (a sister) tasted snow for the first time.

There is no more winter except for the winters

of our memory. Winters where we mourned,

trapped in the mind’s circling inferno & could not get out,

winter where the boy surpassed the age in which his mother’s sister,

forever young, departed.
