My Yiddish wish for you all:May you never know from such pain and troubles. Ken ir keynmol visn fun aza tsuris.
she wept, cleansing tears
at least I hoped they were so
they seem unending
flowing liquid streams
sorrow, like a tsunami
emptying in waves
compounding her pain
fresh sadness on top of old
fossils ‘neath her heart
all words feel hollow
burdens carried, she is still
her world, it is dark
i know there is light
i’ve felt the warmth on my back
it has filled my heart
come, sit next to me
we can gaze at the sun, stars
feel joy, dream with me
Yiddish Proverb:
Gold glitters even in the mud. Gold gliterz afilu in di blote.
Yiddish proverb:The smoothest way is full of stones. Di smudast veg iz ful fun shteyner.
violent winds swirling
roots torn, spines fractured, broken
history in ruins
fallen, decaying
casualties of climate
in a world, denying
I speak for the trees
cadavers among the flock
modern dinosaurs
Yiddish phrase:
A young tree bends, an old tree breaks. A yung baimeleh baigt zikh, an alter brecht zich.
As we near the end of earth month, please, can I ask you, speak for the trees. Plant one, or many, for momma earth. She needs our help. Trees, they are like the chicken soup for the air.
