Alien(s)
it was a mistake
spirit not stuff
was the directive
middle management archon
screwed it up
botched creation
I am called
thinking of the invisible
I am called
unchangeable voice
aeons of aeons
I ams of I ams
meat’s the error
meet the terror
of failure
of gravity
the weight of
stuckness
irritate the pearl of spirit’s abandonment
hear me softly
& learn from me harshly
this time the dream’s on me
take light but leave dark
to guide the maze twist
of unanswered questions
the journey down
bondage
exodus
ascent to the royal realm
it is not I
the sound
of my thinking
am called
invisible thought
as we move
together
& separate
down industrial streets
hidden in all
revealed in all
each reaching out
to another
stranger in despair
foreigners
displaced people
DPs
unrecognized
tagged as alien
alone
all one
no other
of you
for you
estrangeiro
aka
other
belongs elsewhere
not here
how to be so unknown
pixel camouflage
unrecognized
beauty exiled
banished in bitter
abandon
whose tongue tip
scorches compromise
corrodes banal
erodes euphemism
we come from far away
we are so close
we are unknown
we are everywhere
we are invisible
even when seen
kindness made animate bone
forethought connective tissue
divinity animates flesh
lordship animates marrow
kingship erupts blood
zeal covers it with skin
intelligence tangled up in hair
pleasure
desire
grief
fear
where are we
without ID
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
