The prophetic perfect tense is a literary technique used in the Torah and the Bible that describes future events that are so certain to happen that they are referred to in the past tense as if they had already happened.

The mountains of Mikey are fallen;
they shall no more rise.
As flat as East Yorkshire,
as flat as still waters,
I am gone over the passage at last.

So rich I can taste it before it begins;
so known I can read the words held in the pen;
so sure I can feel the scars yet to be formed.
Undoubtedly imminent.
Already accomplished.
Vividly, dramatically,
complete, independent.

Too many times famished,
vanished, scattered.
Forsaken and dried up
by so-called wise men.
Banality of evil again and again.

Already savirna.
Already gamirna.
I am man enough.
I am frum enough.
I am body enough.
I am convert enough.
G-d has taken me out to the fields to bless me
and my waiting is finally done.
