Pearl-song:
magic from
grit-dust-time
( as in lots and lots of time )
for star’s bloom
*From combined prompts: Freewrite as inspired by Ana Blandiana’s “As if” (zeroed in on line “astral blooms flock to…”), from Lisa Freedman’s Type.Coalesce.Become; and by Ted Kooser’s “Pearl”, from Marj Hahne’s Poem a la Mode (IWWG Virtual Conference 2023). Both from June 2, 2023.
And can’t help but notice this synchronicity, from the Daily Thought on Chabad's Jewish calendar today:
…plant seeds and water them.
Neither you nor this place
must stay the same.
– Tzvi Freeman’s adaptation
of the Lubavitcher Rebbe
