exodus 40

‘Until the day’

be it in my mouth ever 

And not ‘what—‘

(oh, answerless question

to make one stare into the distance

to look for what no eye may see)

‘—what will be?’

All of life, what makes life

stands there between.

From now unto then

from then unto now:

everything

and all things

be not disavowed.

What is to be

is one day what was;

the paint will be dry

but what is the piece?

Both artist

and subject,

and yet, cannot see.

I’ve been told—

I have faith—

in the tapestry

And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys; and if the cloud go not up, then they journey not– until the day of its going up. -exodus 40
