Nice gestures are but sugar coated agendas
Easier for others to swallow.

I want to pull out the fibers of lies
Woven into my clothes
Holding them  together.
Without which the clothes will freely fall from my shoulders.

And I would be free
Naked
And me


I see a life dotted  with lit candles
each one an act of kindness
Performed without fine print
each one a shamash candle
waiting to light another menorah

I wanted  something softer, where the message was  presented within the story  more like a parable.   "I give it to you in your brother's name. So you know of the   joy of  a ...
