Michal Mahgerefteh, poetry
Michal Mahgerefteh of Norfolk is the publisher of Poetica Magazine - Reflection of Jewish Thought, a quarterly magazine dedicated to publishing work by Jewish writers on the Jewish experience. The following poems - pOetry and Descending - are prepublished pieces.

pOety

As the pen's
Intuitiveness
Leaves a print
I gladly yield
To its intrusion


RETURN TO TOP



Descending

Isolated
She lay on
A single bed

Not a waking ray
Or a soothing song
Is permitted

She smiled
Throwing her bony arms
To hold me close

I caressed
Her hands and cheeks
With hope

But letters
On her chart brandished thorns
Decreased her physicality

For her
The
Shechinah*
Is visible

Like
Descending pollen
In the wilderness


*Shechinah - divine presence

RETURN TO TOP
