442-444

I shoudn't have shared
and I knew that even as
I shared my half truths

Jerusalem stone
surrounds a marble rooftop
in my presleep dream

Seldom spoken word
of acts under-understood
kindness is lonely

437-441

Just one thing fails me
Whatever that one thing is
One can't be enough

I just want to be
objectively fairminded
I want to be just

Just exactly that
absolutely, totally
just thoroughly just

Just when it seems that
you can't possibly succeed
try just one more time

Everything just is:
healthy, sick, married, alone
Thank G-d for your life

436

Stay out of trouble
G-d help the world with this goal
and please help me too

The Hebrew:  korban
translated as sacrifice
means to bring nearer

When you hug me please
lean your left side to my left
so our hearts are near

Marriage maybe tests
in having someone you love
nearby all the time

True friends are nearby
even when they're far away
others, the reverse

Isaiah said G-d
repeatedly spoke of peace
tothe far and near

In Memory of Scott Gordon

He loved to laugh but
he didn't like to smile
I respected that

429

The apartment chirps

as the man breathes in his chair

he begins to fade

426-428

Sometimes on long days

I force myself to sit down

and breathe in with faith

We all need to give

because we all need to get

So breathe in and give

Clark Kent was a fake

Superman was the real him

We are like that too

424-425

Sometimes I need food

after hours of plowing

and working the fields

Work can be non-stop

The large flocks need attention

The long days are short
