Acharei Mos
It seems that pairs provide kapara,
Like Nadav and Abihu,
The goats L’HaShem and L’Azazel,
A set of doves can help us, too.
And yet it makes me wonder,
Why death should help at all,
Isn’t life lived re-directed,
The best kapara for a fall?
The praises of the living,
Be they man or beast or bird,
Can’t be offered by the ones deceased,
Who do not speak a word.
So on this yahrtzeit of my parents,
Who passed on ten years apart,
I pray my words bring them kapara,
Since they live still in my heart.
