Dayenu (daiyenu) 
By Rachel Kann

had you-i been given but seconds in this unreal reality,
and the ten-thousand things not made themselves known to me-you,
daiyenu,

had the ten-thousand things made themselves known to me-you,
and your-my blood not thudded circuitously, stubbornly,
daiyenu,

had your-my blood thudded circuitously, stubbornly,
and these atoms not stayed gathered into matter as me-you,
daiyenu,

had these atoms stayed gathered into matter as me-you,
and you-i not been born earthly entity,
daiyenu,

had you-i been born earthly entity,
and these lungs not breathed me-you,
daiyenu,

had these lungs breathed me-you,
and you-i not strengthened from struggling,
daiyenu,

had you-i strengthened from struggling,
and the time-space web not caught me-you,
daiyenu,

had the time-space web caught me-you,
and you-i not made manifest believed-in possibility,
daiyenu,

had you-i made manifest believed-in possibility,
and never felt faith inside me-you,
daiyenu,

had you-i felt faith inside me-you,
and not lost ego-identity,
daiyenu,

had you-i lost ego-identity,
and not detached from a conceptually separate me-you,
daiyenu,

had you-i detached from a conceptually separate me-you,
and never found inner tranquility,
daiyenu,

had you-i found inner tranquility,
and never let angel-death tongue-kiss me-you,
daiyenu,

had you-i let angel-death tongue-kiss me-you,
and not answered with reciprocity,
daiyenu,

had you-i answered with reciprocity,
and not still vibrated energy for eternity,
had you-i been given but seconds in this unreal reality,
had it all been arbitrary,
had it all been but a word,

a breath,
a blink,
a touch,
a grace,
a pulse,
a truth,
daiyenu,
daiyenu,

daiyenu.
