Shavuot's Wit

the pent up cost of Babel
the scrabble
for language from the one
who spoke through the un-burnt
on the mountaintop
ten, still misunderstood
until a mighty wind swept
with fire
and scrambled tongues wept
in new translations

  2. Ah, thank you, dear friend. It is time for me to post 3x a week again. I keep forgetting to look and see what's up on this and my favorite blogs. I am grateful for your presence here.
