Weave

your grandmother’s tomatoes and your neighbor’s lost eyes

the crack left by the jet plane, now far away and the crystal pattern of ice on the morning window

the lost rhythm of your native tongue and the laughter on the neighborhood stoop

the broken lamp post and the lost key

Some folks like the high seats,

Floating with angels and dragons,

Far beyond the trembling troubles

Of ordinary flesh and bone.

I had a dream in Krakow.
I was sharing acupressure points
with a Zen meditation group.
as we travelled to Auschwitz.
They were the points for grief.
They help us breathe into grief,
rather than use our muscles
to stop its flow.

To start off the new year of 2025, Robin Sheerer and Vanessa Klugman donated 7 hand-knitted baby blanets to Sarah’s Inn. These blankets represent several years and countless hours of loving, enjoyable, joy-fill knitting. All this love and kindness from folks in our Stitching Sutra Circle. To join this circle, contact Robin Sheerer at robinsheerer@gmail.com. Everyone is welcome.
