Gravitzit – by Michael Aronson

Gravitzit
Michael Aronson

Wearing a tallit katan
For the first time, wondering
Me,

ah Me?

Looking in the mirror
Tzitzit hanging, pondering
In heaven above and on earth below

Consecrated to holiness
I feel like Me, fascinating
That a sense of … intensifies

Standing between two worlds?
I am not so sure, dangling
Towards the ground

Shouldn’t we be tikkuning
Where the tzitzit are pointing?

Down
down
to God?
And the Earth below
Where She dwells?
