Poem of the Week

A fully lit menorah on a wooden table with a ray of light shining on it from above.

Hear me read
the poem as
an MP3 file.

Watch me read
the poem as
an MP4 file.

How explain the miracle of light?
A lamp's a miracle, refueled or no.
Nor is there aught that ought be more than night,
Unless some unmade maker make it so.
Know that nothing is but miracles,
Kindled from the void we know not how;
And God, if God there be, the greatest miracle,
Here within the sepulcher of now.
