Freedom from Trauma
When the king hears that a miraculous child is born
he murders all infants in our neighborhood.
I escape to Egypt with the trauma of knowing
that my existence

and again after birth
causes catastrophe.
In Egypt singing songs on Passover
imagining we are slaves yearning and learning to be free
moves us to believe we’ll find through life’s tragedies
miraculous ways
