Shabbat fades
with the sunset
until the stars shine
and then
in darkness
the week begins
and this week
hardly a moon
the slimmest crescent
symbolically decorates
doesn't light
the sky
Jewish
lunar month ending
in darkness
moon's dark side
teases us
no light
so new week now
new month from Monday night
but it seems so dark
superficially dark
our light
from someplace else
Shavua Tov
....and Chodesh Tov, too...
