Saturday
Like a bad mood
gray weather
wakes the day
Cinnamon tea wafts
My children who aren’t
children get ready
The Sabbath is here
It clammors for rest
pleads for peace
The men wrap with
prayer shawls
We observe them from
the other side
the glass partition
a transparent wall
The children still
demand our attention
The women watch
G-d will have to wait
Ryfkah 6/29/02
