Tevet
Seven is completion.
Chanukah lights where
Eight sends us beyond
This world,
Casting illuminated gaze
Toward the vision
Contained within
The silence of
Ayin.
I do not always know
When I should be quiet.
And the loudest I am
Is when I am angry,
Or, sometimes, when I pray,
Or, yes, here, too:
In the deepest vulnerability of all;
A poem.
