Olam - Zach Horvitz

[Larry Robinson]

Olam 

Olam is another word 
for the elusive Godot.
What will never come 
is also the one place 

that never goes, 
where Lurianic sparks
are everywhere scattered
and waiting is wonderful

when always there is task,
the tikkun of taking tea 
or telling tales. Being together 
is the ordinary telos

worth our transience -
for the Lord is not our friend
as the Talmud warns,
but you have been to me, 

and I sometimes 
imperfectly to you, 
in this realm of 
sometimes passing.
