Transitory Mitzvah
In the subway car, a mystery of proximity: a yawn
passing from mouth to mouth,
across a line of seated strangers,
in perfect order. I watched it moving
like a secret through a row of children,
washing toward me as each person opened
their lips to swallow it up
and then, in unbroken revolution,
give it away.
I thought this must be G-d: air
moving through human bodies
like a soft needle picking up stitches along pale cloth.
And I felt my neighbor expand
in her crest of breath, hand
floating to her mouth
like wood rising in water,
and I prepared myself for the gift---
But the yawn turned across the aisle.
I saw it grow inside a child and then drift
into his mother, as it passed again
and again away from me.
What would you unsee
so you could be inside of it?
Could it ever be enough just to say:
it happened, nothing opened
or closed around me, air moved
and was wind, air moved and was
breath, air moved and was death,
my life, it did not change---
Sarah Matthes, Town Crier (Persea Books, 2021)
