we are people, yes?
"…in union we created God."
~Rustum Kozain

we are people, yes, with
ordinary lives, whom
life takes by the hand on
ordinary days, like
mary and joe before, who
bore and raised god, and
enjoyed sleeping in when
days wept — or cooking, and
sampling their cuisine off
each other’s fingers, non-
mevushal red in their
jew veins, two people who
lived and died, ached, when
one they had borne was dead.
they were people, yes, with
ordinary lives, whom
life took by the hand home.
