Temporal Allegiance

Jewish time, Midwest seasons, English poetry. I'm especially interested in the overlaps and (dis)harmonies between the Hebrew calendar and the seasons of North America. Located on Dakota land in Minnesota. דארטען, וואו מיר לעבען, דארט איז אונזער לאנד (Wherever we live, that's our homeland).

Just cause it came so easy like quiet evenings in my kitchen. Just cause it came so easy like little breezes of indecision. Line of ants came crawling through the cracks there in my tiles. Sat there and I watched them as they pillaged in single file.

Just cause it came so freely I was loath to admit it. Just cause it came so quickly I was startled like I had tripped. And I reached out an accusing hand to the treachery of the street. Leaning as though in the wind you helped me to my feet.

Your kind words came so easy and I half winced at the sugar sweetness. Made me feel so wealthy so I got tongue-tied, I got restless, and I opened my doors and windows to the many creatures of July. Strange cats come in mewling, bugs that crawl and ones that fly, all my flour fell victim to slow and sullen moths, in the heat we both were gasping wrapped in dripping cloths.

Just cause you came so willing I never made you, I didn't call for you, so sure I was needless but all the strange things of the dirt are obstinately drawn to sweetness, bite through plastic, through the masonry. You came uninvited with a jar of your parent's honey.
