This small room is
lined with books
Even without my glasses
I can see:
Donne
“Jewish Stories One
Generation Tells
Another”
Chaucer
Phaedra
Choletz Chaim
on the Talmud
The fall colors
are not bright this weekend
the sun was out yesterday
but not today
and I remember how
time with my family
in a family place
has always meant
for me
time mostly
with my thoughts.
