Poetry: I am a Jew
Abstract
I am a Jew, 47 years old, of no special courage.
Everyday I try to feel myself in the soil and the stem,
in the light of ancient books and new worlds;
I try to sense the fingertip of G-d in the fragrance of my children's newly washed hair.
Everday, I try to sing with a spirit both measured and ecstatic, find places to worship where I can feel warmth that first attracted me toward my birth.
Scorn the beasts that covet the blood of my door.
I am a Jew.
