Since it’s both Rosh Hashonah and National Poetry Day, here’s a poem I wrote last year.

In The Home Goods Section Of A Texas Marshalls In November 2023 Christmas is all around us and I am shopping for my loved ones who celebrate On a shelf In a corner At the back of the store Are two menorahs: one black and angular, one gold and curved A woman who looks like every girl from my Hebrew school is considering them I joke at the inequality of a whole store full of red and green and two not even that pretty menorahs is all we get But I am clumsy with my words and under my N95, she can’t see my smile only my blue eyes and the red and green in my cart She jokes about being Jewish louder now I encourage her, but suddenly remember *עם ישראל חי no longer lifts like a chorus but instead these days lands like a bomb it’s not my blue eyes or the red and green in my cart that puts distance between us but our cousins regifting the worst of our inheritance *Am Yisrael Chai, “The People of Israel Live
