may the day arrive
when every life
is a treasure
when every death
is a devastation
that is the day
that the burial
of any one child
in any one land
will bring forth
the great cry–
an anguish so
complete that
the following day
everyone who has
ever created
a weapon
will now build
an instrument
this is the day
the levites will play
the day each child
will be a celebration
the day the world
will be the temple
