  "In The Home Goods Section Of A Texas Marshalls In November 2023
  
  Christmas is all around us and 
  I am shopping for my loved ones who celebrate
  
  On a shelf
  In a corner
  At the back of the store
  
  Are two menorahs: one black and angular, one gold and curved
  
  A woman who looks like
  every girl from my Hebrew school is considering them
  
  I joke at the inequality of a whole store full of red and green
  and two not even that pretty menorahs
  is all we get
  
  But I am clumsy with my words
  and under my N95, she can’t see my smile
  
  only my blue eyes
  and the red and green in my cart
  
  She jokes about being Jewish louder now
  I encourage her, but suddenly remember
   *עם ישראל חי
  no longer lifts like a chorus but instead
  these days
  lands like a bomb  
  
  it’s not my blue eyes or
  the red and green in my cart
  that puts distance between us
  but our cousins regifting the worst of our inheritance
  
  
  
  *Am Yisrael Chai, “The People of Israel Live”"
