A love poem for Elul
September 04, 2024
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.
