How can we believe that the Creator
Actually sustained those lamps eight days?
No doubt a masterful resort to theater,
Uniting Jews adrift from ancient ways.
Knowing God, we hunger to be known:
Kindness, love, compassion for our pain--
All shot through our dead universe of stone.
How can we not turn that way again?
