I can't
Three Practices for Now (Shoftim 5784 / 2024)

A love poem for Elul

Pray-Barenblat

From Texts to the Holy, Ben Yehuda Press. 

Here's the poem in plaintext for those who need it that way.

 

Pray


Sometimes I manage
formal conversation,
a love letter evening
and morning and afternoon

but most of the time
I rely on the chat window
open between us all day.
I want to tell you everything.

This month you are near.
Walk with me in the fields.
I want to take your hand
and not let go.

 

 Rachel Barenblat
