Netzavim-Vayeilech


“adding the watered to the thirsty”


what an obscure turn of phrase

to describe willful sinning with

the expectation of forgiveness

thus losing His compassion

for even the unintentional


a malignant merger

like combining wool with linen, or

sowing with mixed seed, or

hitching an ox with a donkey


unlike salt

sodium and chlorine both toxic

until combined


or a minyan, in which

all of our prayers are elevated

by the righteous among us

the watered making a tikkun

for the thirsty
