Weaving Peace - Phyllis Meshulam

[Lawrence Robinson]

Weaving Peace

I ask to be a loom in the service of peace.
Let voices weave through me,
whether barbed with the burrs and seeds of pain,
or carefully carded and spun with light.
Let me bring forth
a tapestry blanket,
kufiyah, tallit.
Where there is unravelling,
let me remember to knit.
If I meet the flash and stab of fire,
let me be rebuilt from fresh wood.
In a state of rubble,
let me remember to weave.

	- Phyllis Meshulam
