The Fig Tree Will Bear Fruit by Sofia Kioroglou

The Fig Tree Will Bear Fruit

Going around in circles
My compass is broken
Disoriented, I search for the Light
My egocentrism, a crippling neurosis

Cut off from the Life
My visceral putrefaction
A vicious cycle of sinuous entanglement
Of subjective schemas and delusions

Like the tax collectors and the prostitutes
I beseech you not to dash me to pieces like pottery
My repentance, a humble acceptance of Your Glory
In shemayim, the sinners can enter through Your son’s atoning death.
