a woman in a devastated field crouched down and holding her hands in fists

“Did they praise / the G-d that brought about their / most brutal response to devastation? / Or did they lament?”

“Count instead the growing number
of cared-fors you have lost…”

Riding the El

“I almost giggle when I find myself whispering / a long-forgotten prayer.”

a split image, on the left are trees and grass, on the right are buildings and a road

Hear, O Israel /
the prayer was dance /
Adonai Eloheinu /
there were no pews
