the cold rain descends
salty tears glisten the cheeks
daunting pain; it returns
hard rains beat, thud, thud
brilliant pink hues flourish
sun — distant, absent
hourglass sands empty
pain — there is no good time for it
find joy; it is there
Yiddish phrase of the day:
Veytik in di haldz. A pain in the neck.
My neck that is… And for all of you, L’chai’im (To Life)!

I didn’t know you were a poet as well – is there no end to your talents!? I hope your pain will soon be gone. And here’s another little Swedish lesson (in exchange for the Yiddish I’m learning from your posts): Hals = Throat. Did you know by the way, that Yiddish has official status as a minority language in Sweden? And Lund University (where I used to study and work) has a specific assignment from the Swedish government to keep it alive as a subject. Well now you know 🤗x

I did not know that, and I think it is awesome that Lund is doing such a good thing. It is really dying with the Holocaust survivors. Good on them! 😚😘✨
