We Are Always Leaving
We are always leaving our father’s house — [Gen. 11:31]
My father took me as far as Haran
Harry – I am leaving Haran
for you
and me.
Lecha lecha — go, go for yourself
leave your past your name your mistakes —
your inherited enmities;
go to a new land
that I will show you.
And we go
as G*d speaks with us.
