Salt Lake City Cemetary: Jewish Section

Diaspora/diaspora 

Ours in theirs, 
Or theirs in ours? 

Together driven past 
Earth’s small ends, 
One to make a new beginning, the 
Other on to new extremes. 

What can we offer beyond our love, 
            Cool groves above the Magick Lake, 
                        Graves among our prophets’ graves? 

Cohn Levy Siegel Shvarts 
Our kindred—and reminder of God’s bleak adoration,
The fate He chooses for the Chosen 
This exquisite proving of His souls 
Who dry like tea on distant stone and 
Disappear forever.
