Fast Day 272 August 18 2012 {Sickness in Goray}



Sickness in Goray

Sickness, a sense of morbid,
came over me unaware;
it drained the light from day
and illuminated the night
with an eerie glowing sense
of the House of Usher!

What shall I cry?
and where shall I flee?
as the grass withers in
the drought and the flower fades,
- lilies of the field! -
under the breath of Adonai!

--
notes

on being sick
Goray is Isaac Singer's town of Goray.
