Pairs (for Hanukkah)





God is a gerund,

A verb and a noun,

Doing and being.


Light is from God,

Both waves and particles,

Radiation and photons. 


Darkness is so full,

Many visions and none at all,

Frightening and safe. 


An event from history 

And the stories of rabbis,

The eight days exist and also evolve. 


Hanukkah is dialectics, between 

Revolution and accommodation,

Identity and assimilation. 


Solstice or Hanukkah?

Let’s not worry about 

Somebody else’s paradigm.


Light and dark are a gerund,

Seeing and not seeing.

Amen v’Amen.
