DESCENT

 

About my  ancestor Reb Aaron tradition and my mother

Agree: he could fly. Nothing fancy, mind you;

He wasn't a show off and didn't do Immelmans

Or Figure-8s in the skies over Karlin. Mostly he floated

Just a bit off the ground, rising higher when he prayed

Or was lost in thought. His wife (who was also

My ancestor, come to think ofit) would slip rocks

Into his pockets so he wouldn't float away entirely.
