פֶּרַח may be translated from Hebrew as “flower”.

————

We live in worlds

That aren’t ours.

We imagine

Getaways—

Far-off places.

We fast-forward

Time like gods—

We feel sadness

So we change

The flowers. But

Do not despair.

I am clear-

ing out mulch beds

To make room

For hearts to grow.
