The vessels shook.
And the lights burst forth.
Far below, they traveled.
Into the most sturdy and unsuspecting hearts.
And the humans kept the lights hidden.
So they could survive carefully in the looming dark.
But despite
Pogroms,
Then pushkas
Then, ploughshares
Recurring Pharoahs and Josephs gritting their teeth so hard, the fight to just be nearly broke them.
None of us ever did bend the knee.
We just had to learn to find our lights.
And become.
