Sunset Ramadan
(5 June 2016)
I have memories
Of a Ramadan, a
Rosh Hashanah, too
I like the Christian
Holidays, but others
From these faiths
Invited me
To ritual and cuisine
And, best of all,
Community
Love permeates
Actions when they
Are in spirit
Inch’Allah
And our God is
Pleased when we
Are one
Shalom
Psalm 30
a song of I-don’t-know
what is the resolution
of an unsolvable equation
when one plus one
makes love
what more is there to say
to add or calculate
what function can enhance
the totality of this
one plus one makes love
Numbers
Eleven-fourteen
Three minutes past
My time, which is
All ones
But three is for the
Trinity, so I can’t
Complain
The numbers of
Our lives: my dates
In spite of ones
Are rife with threes:
Add up the numbers
Of my birth and now
Divide—there are
Exponents of three
Multiples abound
And I am only one
Of these
Sometimes there’s
Great comfort in
That, in being one
Of these
