Havdalah-Separation
Relishing the Remaining Moments
Suspending the Sabbath
Slowing the Cessation of the Separation.
.
Separation
From the perspiration and desperation that is so commonplace
Division from the collisions and revisions that define this race
We trudge in the muck and muddle that delineate our rank and place
Days blur into an in-conglomerate mass of headaches and risk takes
Till we find solace (though finite in its consummated success)
Only in the 9 a.m. auto race,
Meant simply to propel us at a break-neck pace
Closer to that pestering perdition we are seeking to out-space.
.
Slow Down
.
A Moment.
.
A Pause.
.
Let the day last a little bit longer
Allow the peace to prevaricate the passing pauses
.
Before re-entry returns us to that turbulent trajectory
Restrains us to that repressive rhythm.
Of Deliberate Distractions and Complex Compilations
Dizzying our senses into dull Impressions
And Paling our Perception
Until we are nothing more than a collection of apprehension
Regulated by trepidation
A configuration void of significant incorporation.
.
Until the next Sabbath
When we can stop
And Recollect our lost effect
.
Savor the Seductive Smells
Delight in the languishing light
Elude the Epilogue
.
Harbor the Holiness of Havdalah-Separation.
