Every spring we travel to Jerusalem
where our Passover Seder
inspires us to create
new ways to be free.
When I am twelve,
while my parents are journeying home,
they are shocked I am
missing.
After searching for three days
they are amazed to find
me
teaching adults in
the temple.
I tell my negligent parents
to join our new family
by breathing in sacred air
a parent who always cares.
