Friderike Heuer The Cook and Pomegranates<\/em> (From the Series Tied to the Moon – 2018)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The birthday of the world<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

BY MARGE PIERCY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I begin to contemplate
what I have done and
left undone, but this year
not so much rebuilding<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of my perennially damaged psyche, shoring up eroding
friendships, digging out
stumps of old resentments
that refuse to rot on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, this year I want to call
myself to task for what
I have done and not done
for peace. How much have
I dared in opposition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much have I put
on the line for freedom?
For mine and others?
As these freedoms are pared,
sliced and diced, where<\/p>\n\n\n\n

have I spoken out? Who
have I tried to move? In
this holy season, I stand
self-convicted of sloth
in a time when lies choke
the mind and rhetoric
bends reason to slithering
choking pythons. Here
I stand before the gates
opening, the fire dazzling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

my eyes, and as I approach
what judges me, I judge
myself. Give me weapons
of minute destruction. Let
my words turn into sparks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marge Piercy, “The Birthday of the World” from The Crooked Inheritance<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

***<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sparks they shall be, my words as well. May 5783 bring more justice and peace, and more acceptance of scientific data regulating pandemics…rationality, in other words. A Happy New Year to all who celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
