time to get working again

time to get working again

it is purim

the jewish holiday of transformation and redemption

the jewish holiday that tells tales of courage and true heroism

it is time to get working again

there is so much work

as my pelvis aches and clammers in discontent

my spirit demands obedience and focus and determination

hello again daughter of the world

welcome back

how i long for you when you are gone

and how i love you




dating, searching for a consort, really confuses the goddess

and the spring hormones do not help her either

she is all over the place

i can barely keep track of her

constantly have to pull her out of trouble

she is flirtatious and mischievous and puts herself in such curious situations

she is always apologizing and thinking that she is creating havoc


i try to hold her gently in my arms
her and the pain
i rock them, together
and pray that they sleep
that they find peace this night

i have so much work to do
and she, she is busy getting into trouble
tearing things apart
digging old bones up and demanding that they be looked st
she fights for justice on other people's lands
and leaves her own land unattended

she is such good soul
such young soul
and i am there, picking up the mess that she leaves behind
as she storms through yet another tale of justice, betrayal and inevitable exhaustion

exhaustion settles in, wears her down
and i help her sleep
promising her that we will get better at working together
promising her that we will be okay

and she sleeps in my arms
my child
my self
how foreign this world is to your innocent soul
even today

i love you
