golden sky at 7:05
the world is orange

second snow
I am chanting verse 9 of my first aliyah,
a bowl of blackberries and apple cinnamon Cheerios beside me,
fingers twirling the spoon, when -

I still

freedom
when i was thirteen i held a wrapper in my hand
covered in red white and blue lettering
a tribute to the land you once loved dearly -

To Give
I will be someday,

When I am,
I hope the pine needles still grow thick
covered thick
with snow.

An Old Friend
Every year, December comes around again,
Like an old friend,
One who you haven’t seen in a long time.
For many people, December brings happiness, and warmth.
