By Roger Kamenetz

One voice in bitterness, one voice in joy. 
One voice explaining, one voice complaining. 
One voice in the ecstasy of having not.
This makes five.  

One voice soothing, one voice urging. 
One voice halving, one voice doubling. 
One voice silent for the world to come. 
This makes ten.  

Roger Kamenetz is an American poet whose work explores the Jewish experience and dream consciousness.
