my kaddish is broken

holy, holy, holy, L-rd G-d Almighty,
early in the morning,

too early
doubled over, clenching

her dirge
shall rise to Thee

“my sons..

holy, holy, holy, merciful

“…have mercy on us”

and mighty

how can

G-d in three Persons,

be

blessed Trinity?


holy, holy, holy
the darkness hide Thee
the eye of sinful man thy glory

cannot see

Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,

there is none
there is none
there is nothing


perfect in power
there are no words

in love,

wrenching

and purity

a handful of dirt in a hole in the ground

holy, holy, holy…
L-rd G-d Almighty?
all Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea

where you left us

holy, holy, holy; merciful

man of sorrows

and mighty

true judge

G-d

as in His high heavens
peace
for us
and all Israel

how can we

say amen?
