It is 4:50 a.m., so of course I am packing, so of course I am reading.

(Shavuot thinking)
Overslept.
Just the most important day of my life, and I overslept.
Dreamed too much. Imagined all kinds of wonders.
Didn't want to appear before God with bags under my eyes.
I overdrank of rest. Didn't stay empty enough,
needy enough
Next time I will sleep with the scroll under my pillow
and wake up knowing it.

Why do poems/have to be true?
Why does this poem
have to be true?
Why can't you believe
that I don't really love him,
the one with the hair
and the sad smile eye dances?
Why can't I speak of God
and have it just be speech,
talk of sex and
have it be someone else's?
Why do line breaks
reinforce your faith
in my sincerity?
Why won't you let me hide
behind these words

In other news, my mandolin arrives tomorrow. In other other news, I leave for Maine on Monday in order to work at the Seeds of Peace International Camp for the summer. More on that soon.
And now we'll return to our regularly scheduled programming.
in 3/4. (Probably.) From Shavuot.

Tracy Chapman Time
Many thoughts this week. For now, though, a Tracy Chapman cover. I recorded a different version months ago, but that was before I could fingerpick consistently at 70 bpm. Progress....

מחיה המתים
You have returned
and the universe breathes
בוא נא בשלום
ממעמקי חלומות
Rise now to meet me
and sit down beside me
הרופא לשבורי לב
ומחבש לעצבותם
In naming the holy
the lonely find solace
and the universe breathes
בוא נא בשלום
ממעמקי חלומות
Rise now to meet me
and sit down beside me
הרופא לשבורי לב
ומחבש לעצבותם
In naming the holy
the lonely find solace
