The Betrothal

In Memory of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lin Milgrim, who were murdered in cold blood in Washington DC by the scum of the earth, on the eve of their engagement, for being born Jews.

Earth, do not cover their blood. The beloved and the pleasant, they have not departed each other neither in life nor death

In the beginning, God made Love

And Love was in the blood

And blood called unto blood

In joy and creation,

Blood touched blood

And they became one

And God saw that it was good

And it was night and it was day

And it was woman

In the beginning, God made Love

And love was in eyes

And the eyes met eyes

In awe and jubilation,

Eyes cried to eyes

And the eyes saw as one

And God saw that it was good

And it was night, and it was day,

And it was man.

In the middle, God made rings,

And arguments, and apartments

And embassies and confessions

And wedding plans and flag pins

And photos and smiles and friends

And work parties and Washington DC

In the Meanwhile, Hell made murder

And murder had a name

And murder had intent

And murder hated God

And Blood touched beloved blood

And the Blood became the Word

And the Word came before God

And the word came from God

And God arose
