Us against us is

the hardest thing in the end

and we must face this

though we prefer to pretend

that it is us against them

Two Tanka For Vayeishev

They plot in Dotan
Say, "Here comes that dream-master."
Before he draws near
They plan to put him to death
And see what comes of his dreams...

He saw they looked sad
so he asked why they were down.
And he was in jail
and this caring for others
was what brought his redemption.
