To Read Again

It’s a Mobius
One day you question why Moses
only stood and looked
and never set foot on the land
Then you begin again with the first
words and it’s all new—Bereshit
In the beginning and on until
Devarim and Moses dies
and then you begin again
But always more questions
When Cain told his wife
about killing his brother
the story survived tellings—
one generation to another
Did he also tell her that he
must wander from place to place

Did I ever notice that Lamech’s
wives are named Adah and Zillah
So I begin again
