Ivrit B’kapit by Eleanor Lewin

 Hebrew by the teaspoon

Drops of water to the sea

Grains of sand to the beach

Spoon to cup to meal

Spread before us like royalty

We partake, aware that time

Provides us space

To build a bridge

To beloved, ancient, intriguing

Words of connection

Ivrit B’kapit, b’kapit , b’kapit.
