Bright Week
(journal from Eastern Orthodox Easter Week, 2022)
“Open for me just an infinitesimal pinhole,” G‑d pleads,
“and I will open for you a vast, infinite portal to all My love…”
--the Lubavitcher Rebbe, via Tzvi Freeman
1. Orthodox Easter, mid-day
a Spring toast
takes but a sec–-rain, joy,
L'chaim!
2. Bright Wednesday, upon awakening
goldfinch trill,
sun’s long languid rise–-
if I could
3. Bright Thursday, after breakfast
something's coming,
fires then fireweed, but listen!
chime of fairy bells
*From prompt: As Spring leans towards Summer, keeping in mind that waking up to where you are wakes you up to who you are, craft haiku around the area of longing. From Gerry Grubbs’ Writing From Where You Are (The Hive, Cincinnati), April 15, 2022.
