NUMBERS
Numbers on your arm
and as as boy
taking a haircut
ask him
what is germane
and he sings out to me
(as we were alone
in the shop)
a cantorial hymn
in ancient study
with the praise worthy voice
of an hallel angel
taken in earthy cruelty
from murderous fingers
admitting of death
from a profanity
unwilling to speak about.
