A special toast written for Purim 2024.
Karen Webber delivers a micro version of ‘the whole megillah’ in her performance piece.
“Masks help us imagine / it’s history and only our story…”
“I touch the rough bark of a tree and it speaks, but only / in leaves and branches…”
“These seeds will fly without help…”
“May the Shekhinah drive you home in her taxi…”
“Being Jewish / shapes and shades my poetry / forms and reforms my soul…”
“even the / darkest, coldest winter still gives way to spring…”
“No words can describe it. / The first time I held her on my chest…”
“We will collect ourselves; / We will gather in; / We will reassemble…”
