Poem: New Year

Rosh Hashanah – Sept 18 thru Sept 20 2020

new year.
Ned Hayes

Rosh Hashanah comes

this year

on a day of cool wind,

a breathtaking

portent of winter

taking the world, rude lover

tossing[image error]

the sheets away.

in autumn

the sadness of all things

is greatest

for now

the world was created.

the new fruit, shot through

with decay:

birthed in the same

moment,

the racing seed and

the worm.
