we are people, yes

we are people, yes

"In union we created god"
— Rustum Kozain

we are people      yes      with
ordinary lives      whom
life takes by the hand      on
ordinary days      like
mary and joseph before      who
were born to raise god      and
enjoyed sleeping in      when
it rained — and cooking      and
sampling food      off
each other’s fingers,
mevushal red in their jew
veins      two people who
lived and died      ached      when
one they had borne was dead…
they were people      yes      with
ordinary lives      whom
life took by the hand      home
