“And wherever there is Pride, there is hope. / And wherever there is hope, there is joy. / And wherever there is joy, there is life. / And that life is sweet, and full of love.”

“Shabbat holds / Herself open. / All we need do / Is breathe, / And receive Her.”

“May our breaths continue / And our health and the health of all / Be preserved / In this time of haze, fire and climate disaster.”

“May memory be a protective seawall / to re-call me: / it’s all about the breath.”

“We will sing for freedom, / clap our hands for freedom.”

“…moons of freedom / blessing the nights.”

“12 months of mourning, / Travelling, conjoined, / On our continuing / Separate ways.”
