I will not fast.
I will not pray,
Alone or in the company of
Fellow poets and sinner-believers,
Like when I was an awed child,
A young father,
Or a middle aged confused one.
My sins, the kind,
Words don't blot up.
When we meet next,
We, across the table,
Assuming You got a set,
A Sense of Justice or,
just Humor,
We will discuss
Comparative literature,
Comparative sinning,
I will let You know
What Your punishment will be,
Caused You have already
Informed me, of mine.

Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר, IPA: [ˈjom kiˈpuʁ], or יום הכיפורים), also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for the Jewish people.[1] Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jewish people traditionally observe this holy day with an approximate 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services.
