• haləlūyāh • — the stillness shatters. in the east, a gathering of light fractures the world. let us go. let us go. strengthen your hands, your joints, your constitution. gather your spices, and come away to the tomb borrowed for three days.

do you look for the living among the dead?

come. watch the rock roll away. witness the valley transfigure into a mountain.

why are you weeping? the burning sand laughs in crocus blooms. the blind bears witness to the stale air of the empty tomb. the trembling water breaks forth, terrible in the wilderness, heard by deaf ears. the silence unmutes itself to sing. haləlūyāh! behold, shameless hope! behold, brazen grace! behold, the second man, until the very end of age.
