Farewell to Christendom

by Yehiel E. Poupko in the October 2022 issue

we are a people
without bodies
our feet
no longer
walk your lands
our hands
turn no pages
in the ancient book
like our selves
now burned
but our eyes
our eyes
you still see
whose gaze
your bodies
in all their emptiness
cannot avert
we are a people
