Mother, why does Father not talk to us<\/span>
\n<\/span>When we ask how this happened to our brothers?<\/span>
\n<\/span>His lips are a sealed vial;<\/span>
\n<\/span>His shoulders tense;<\/span>
\n<\/span>He turns away<\/span>
\n<\/span>And leaves<\/span>
\n<\/span>To make peace between the sons of Reuben.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lord took them, my sons;<\/b>
\n<\/b>I can say nothing more, for your father<\/b>
\n<\/b>remains silent.<\/b><\/p>\n

Aunt Miriam, why does our father not hear us<\/span>
\n<\/span>When we ask why the Lord took Nadav and Avihu?<\/span>
\n<\/span>His ears are blocked reeds;<\/span>
\n<\/span>His back stiffens;<\/span>
\n<\/span>He turns away<\/span>
\n<\/span>And marches out<\/span>
\n<\/span>To make peace between the sons of Simeon.<\/span><\/p>\n

They brought Strange Fire, my sons;<\/b>
\n<\/b>I can say no more, for your father<\/b>
\n<\/b>remains silent.<\/b><\/p>\n

Aunt Zipporah, why does our father not look at us<\/span>
\n<\/span>When we ask about the Strange Fire?<\/span>
\n<\/span>His eyes are locked caskets;<\/span>
\n<\/span>His face tightens;<\/span>
\n<\/span>He turns away<\/span>
\n<\/span>And strides out<\/span>
\n<\/span>To meet Uncle Moses.<\/span><\/p>\n

I do not know, my sons.<\/b>
\n<\/b>Questions on the Fire rise<\/b>
\n<\/b>as a mountain above all answers and your father, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>
\n<\/b>like the wilderness at night,<\/b>
\n<\/b>cannot but remain silent. <\/b><\/p>\n
