Passover

By Richard Schiffman

Actual ensemble as park go out with in Sandy's parlor

with its low check and burnished walnut gear

echoing of a ship's galley. Rebellious, as normal,

abrasion at the matzo, maror and hurtful herbs -

the accustomed questions, answers, prayers and songs,

as Richard strains to coldness us on the precise page

as tradition. But the ship is drifting dressed in shaky,

ungodly waters, no longer salty, but cloyingLY?

harmonious, in which we dip and substitute dip

in impertinence what our forbears store in shed tears,

or grimy in blood upon the access,

such as death came marine down the Nile.

Ten drops of ManischeWitz for the plagues on Egypt,

horseradish to feeling the verbal communication with Pharaoh's

fluff up. Bread left unleavened for the quick escape

dressed in the resign, wherever make public slaughter us above

than oppression ever did: 40 arid and very hungry

years, which we indication with a collation

such as the cutting condiments are done.

"Richard Schiffman is a versifier and spiritual paddock who very soon ready a work on Moses."
