“An eternal fire shall be kept burning on the altar, not to go out.” (Leviticus 6:6)<\/span><\/p>\n

I<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes I want my money back, the price
\n<\/span>I’ve had to pay, my God, is just too high;
\n<\/span>the Sabbath suit You ordered me to buy
\n<\/span>is thread-bare, and its fabric full of lice. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span>The Sabbath bread I’ve eaten, slice by slice,
\n<\/span>is frozen solid, Lord, and though I try
\n<\/span>to taste Your honey and to sanctify
\n<\/span>Your Sabbath wine, all liquids turn to ice.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve paid a lifetime’s salary to rent
\n<\/span>a room within Your walls \u2014 unfurnished, small,
\n<\/span>unheated and unlit, as if the night
\n<\/span>had overwhelmed this house for which I’ve spent
\n<\/span>my savings, Lord \u2014 is this my home at all?
\n<\/span>Where is the hearth’s fire? Where is the fire’s light?<\/span><\/p>\n

II<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes I learn that what I thought was right
\n<\/span>is wrong, and what I thought was plainly wrong
\n<\/span>is absolutely right, that noise makes song
\n<\/span>and melody, that darkness blazes light.
\n<\/span>Sometimes I learn that grayness harbors white
\n<\/span>while glazing white hides dismal gray, that long
\n<\/span>is really short, that weak is really strong,
\n<\/span>that dust and ashes suddenly ignite.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes I learn a Sabbath suit is more
\n<\/span>than shabby cloth and thread, sometimes I learn
\n<\/span>a Sabbath meal is more than bits of ice,
\n<\/span>Sometimes I learn a room may have a door
\n<\/span>which opens to a court where altars burn
\n<\/span>and consecrate the secret sacrifice.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":93159,"id":93159,"title":"pro25-secret
