[hometext] => A metaphysical exploration of life and death, judgement and punishment, from an abstract Jewish perspective.
[bodytext] => Physically there but running late these tired limbs have found their mate in this withered torso that they hate why can't they just be grateful that they’re not my blistered toes? or better yet my aching fingers that crash with keys as sharp as stingers of hornets while their nest still lingers somewhere along the clothesline where my words dry out in rows from mental flames that will abate when the last few brain cells evaporate the good King Neuron has been irate his gilal* wife has failed to call and so his anger grows no longer saved from these wicked dreams as six hundred mitzvot* grab at the seams of my soul draped in remnants of evil schemes with cold hands demons writhe away in the dark and nobody cares or even knows emotions and blood spilled at an alarming rate having drowned me SLASH flooded my now vacant estate if genotypes are expressed phenotypically* as fate why do we even bother to swim as life is predicated by future woes? too weary from life to take this last breath the fruits of my labor consumed in the depth of blankets and sheets that smother like death left to swim alone in this lake of fire while on the shore my halo surely glows* *Notes That Clarify: 1. Gilal cells are another form of brain cells and function as the "support group" of neurons. 2. Mitzvot is the plural form of mitzvah, and in this sense are the commandments of g-d. Six hundred and thirteen are found in the Torah. Another seven rabbinical mitzvot exist as well. 3. Genotype is used in reference to your actual genetic make up. A phenotype refers to how that genetic trait is expressed. My mother and father have red hair. I have jet black hair. I have the "red head" genes that they do as well, but older genes were phenotypically expressed (i.e. grandparents). 4. In Judaism the soul has three parts. One is simply the life force that keeps you breathing, and returns to g-d upon death. The second is what animates the body, and could be thought of as your willpower / "horsepower" and goes with you to your grave. The third is you, your thoughts, experience, yada yada yada. This is what is judged by g-d. 5. Also, in Judaism, "hell" is temporary. G-d is too merciful to condemn someone for eternity (there are some exceptions to this in Kabbalah). Therefore, the light of the halo is the promise that despite my grave sins, there is always, always, still hope to believe in.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
