About My Father
My face is flushed
with talk and my father --
Israel and Jewish life
before Israel
have made me heady.
The talk is so close
to my heart of all nations,
to the heart not mine
but universal;
all peoples are counted
all persons are me;
I swim like an arrow
through dark blue waves.
I need to cool down
like I need the heat of
my soul deepening.
