Nirtzah
I am pulling all this together. The one thing that I desire most is to let the endings twirl off. I desire two things: to sing into the night and to read the words in Hebrew. I have always wanted this to go on a little longer than it needs. There needs to be a way for things to change. I want to give them just a bit more time. One little child. Who is near and who is far? There is no stopping here. We are on the wrong side. One little child. Two tablets inscribed with freedom and law. Three brothers. Four Sisters. Five books I started but never finished. Six ways of ordering. Seven little goats. Eight days before I look at my heart. Nine months of further development. I’ve started to fiddle with my ring and enumerate the stars the ways in which you are beautiful to me. What are you still waiting for? These are the things that we need to know. This and no more. 10 who knows 10 who knows? Next year, again. Same time, next year, again.
