In a class on Psalm 76, we were asked to write a poem reinterpreting a verse.
I chose verse 3: Salem became His abode; Zion, His den.
The word "Salem" is related to the word for "whole" and the word for "abode" is "sukkah", the tabernacle/booth/hut from the festival of Sukkot (the plural of "sukkah").
Here is my poem:
In wholeness, God's sukkah
Wholeness is fleeting
Notice it? It's gone!
Wholeness is a Thou, not an it
Wholeness only comes when all 7 of your ushpizin selves
show up
