Guest Pass
Though through serrated holes
of branched schach
above this temporary
haven
I espy milky vapor trail
of His departed chariot
wheeling past
the heavenly host
of circuiting stars
I’m reassured
that His presence
will remain with me
for a rustic week
ushpizah that I am
to the Landlord of my sukkah
