My Hands.

My hands, she said,
shall wipe away

the tears that flow
too readily, since

my demise,
from your eyes.

Shame that only
in a dream,

she said as such,
but you shall treasure

her words just as much.

The Holy One says as much: that One will be the one who wipes away all tears...but in a place where there is no crying...which begs the question: is the Holy One a liar or an advocate of truth within its paradoxical complexity? And that's supposed to be our image's origin....

Thank you, Joel.
