On one level, this poem seems to be a tribute to Jewish womanhood and continuity; the author and ancient figure share the sacred text as 'People of the Book' in different ages. It also seems to be a treatment of the thin veil that separates life from the world of pure spirit, the here from the hereafter. Beautiful and evocative.
