-Nadia Sohn Fink, Rosh Hashanah 5783 (2022)
God was a firefly.Harvest moon our witness.God said weave the leavesbetween the apples from theFarmer's market and thehoney you didn't remember to get—Recall your grandmotherGod said hold her there:Weave memory and lightInvite everyone in:their grandmother,what she always said,what you forgot to tell her.It's not too late or early.Harvest moon nodded,remembered his mother,slipped behind the clouds.God glowed green: Think!Every threadthat's ever been still is!Weave your book of lifeWith everyone's ancestor ink.
