I’m going to have to read this poem numerous times to understand what the writer is asking for😵💫 Does he want to be taken in death and hoping for a better life afterward in paradise which he hope will be free from the suffering of the Egyptian bondage? If so, there are similarities between life in this world governed by fallen man and Egyptian bondage and death being a passage of hope into freedom, harmony and peace. ???
Sorry, it's difficult to understand. It's an invitation to the spirit of God to put to death the life of the flesh inside us. It's using the story of Passover as a metaphor for that, except in this case instead of the Israelite cowering in his home afraid of the Angel of Death, he invites the Angel inside his home to take his Egyptian gods away.
“For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.”
1 Corinthians 15:25-26 ESV
The Holy Spirit is very distinct from the spirit death. I like the intent of the poem, but I personally wouldn’t address the spirit of death per se. I do not think he will be feasting in Paradise.
Hmmm interesting distinction. Yes. I wonder if to some, God’s Spirit is death because they are without Christ, but to other’s, God’s Spirit is life because of Christ.
Ah hah!!! Sorry, my interpretation was too dark, nowhere close. (Annnnd, Marek Studzinski was the one whose photograph accompanied your poem, NOT the writer OF the poem. Its all coming together now. 🙂 Now i can re-read your poem with understanding.

After listening to your introduction and reading of your poem, its easier for me to understand it meaning.

Ohhhhh. I see.
Tried to research the poet, but its all in Polish or some other eastern European language, (Russian maybe ?)...
