Golem
A falling star, burning white-hot
Strikes the world
And brings
Death,
Destruction,
Agony,
Suffering,
Chaos,
Motion,
Life.
An angel from Heaven
Comes to Earth
They say it brings
Souls
One part, three parts, five
Puts them in the red soil
Mixed with water
Warmed by fire
Moved
By breath
By voice
It cries out
And they say,
"This is when it gets a soul."
Another says,
"No, before."
A third says,
"We cannot know."
But, I think
That it gets a soul
When it is red earth
When it is shaped clay
When it breathes, cries out
When it walks, works,
Dies
Soul, i think, is like
Knowledge
It is something forever growing,
