Eht/Aht (את)
By Rachel Kann
For Ketzirah Lesser’s Eht/Aht (את): a Netivot Wisdom Oracle Card Deck
-
If the word is made fresh,
then let every alleged blemish be blessed,
each individually kissed
like the exquisite mezuzah it is.
-
There is a doorway
that all of creation
thresholds its way through
on its way to
the eternal-unfolding-already-was.
-
Oh, All-That-Is/Infinite,
who whispered this lintel
into beginning;
into becoming,
-
who bears witness
to this living-thing-ness,
-
who is this lintel,
-
who is the whisper,
who made the making,
who forms letters out of breath,
-
who said,
Let this את
contain the whole expanse of it,
the vessel and exhalation.
-
This is the breath,
this is the mystery,
this one, right here,
-
this is the Saturn-moon-ring
that surrounds everything,
-
the embrace of beginning
by ending,
-
the way the wax
makes love to the wane,
-
this:
this is the faithfulness
you are held with.
