Charge

This old phone no longer charges.
The solution's simple,
a silvered circle. Current
soaks in, awakening from below.


I think about that in the sukkah,
layers stripped away by holiday
after holiday. Low battery so familiar
I forget I was ever otherwise.


The answer is to sit and wait.
Don't close up. Trust
that sustenance exists.
God, remind me how to shine.
