May we build this world from love,
May we rise in peace, as different creatures
Wisely formed
Whole and One
Olam chesed yibaneh
May yesterday dissolve like a pill in the rain
“And you shall be a Blessing”
And you shall wear pairs of underwear for different days of the week
And you shall sip the pickle brine from the jar
And you shall finish a meaningful book
And you shall see the mountains from up high
And you shall find peace in the bathtub
Modeh ani l’fanekah, melekh hai vikayam
I utter breathlessly in half darkness
Forming a lopsided smile that somehow also frowns
