Bo

 בס״ד



Bo


at the 49th level of tumah, nothing rises

all that is left - coarseness and sweat

a scorched crust


you will carry this burden - this matzah

a dead weight on your shoulders


beaten down, deflated

you will wend your way in woeful weariness

from west to east - then east to west


 yet miraculously, in only 49 days,

not this blistered bark, but -

leavened loaves will be lifted up


the dough, freshly kneaded

given time to rise
