Across the Atlantic Ocean

Gold star of david hanging from branch against blue sky

“I take it off when I get to the parking lot / and hide my Star of David, / cover my Hebrew tattoo…”

A Small Offering

a woman stands alone walking into a grassy meadow

“Engage with those who believe in the blessings of Love and Life…”

Yotzer Or: The Beginning

sunrise over the mountains

“So God created the dawn, painting peaks of blues and purples to the warmth of the black.”

The Knock

a woman sits with her head folded across her arms

“I invited those who won’t speak up for me now…”

Teaching for Survival

two long rows of yahrzeit candles some of them lit

“I’m teaching to prepare you. / But for what exactly? / To hide, to fight, to run away or die?”

In Praise Of The Dark

stars across the night sky

“Tonight, perhaps,
don’t be in such a rush / to set up your candles against the dark.”
