The ferryman

I love the correlation here to Charon and the River Styx.  Well done, Slip.

There are a few things you can do to improve the flow for the reader:

None can book a crossing
[ fesivals ] smiled pain in goodby waves ( festivals * )
the [ Tora ] its words ( too ) old and dusty ( Torah, * and I would comma;  I would replace so with too ) )
to wail for prophesy/ ( I'd split the line here )
[ C ]an you walk on water
faith[ ' ]s shekel to save or spend ( faith's is possessive thus needs an apostrophe )
righteousness like a crisp ( crisp is an english potato chip? )
some earth some [ norishment ] ( nourishment * )
or garment[ - ]laden flavor ( I'd hyphenate garment-laden )
[ T ]he ferryman heeds no inclement weather ( I'd capitalize T )
your name upon the slate
payment or a free ride[ , ] that tide—
the life you lead

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that ending. It's perfect, though I would insert a comma after ride.  I've added some spaces between thoughts ( as well as some em dashes and semicolons to connect, but those are totally optional and personal preference.  If taken into account, it would read more like this:

None can book a crossing
festivals smiled pain in goodby waves;
the Torah, its words too old and dusty
to wail for prophesy

Can you walk on water
faith's shekel to save or spend
righteousness as a crisp—
some earth some nourishment
or garment-laden flavor

The ferryman heeds no inclement weather
your name upon the slate
payment or a free ride, that tide—
the life you lead

I read a couple of Yehuda Amichai poems and tried to replicate his style, no particular poem just a general feeling of subject and style ?
