Today’s word is “matzo” ... unleavened bread in the form of large crackers, typically square and corrugated, eaten during Passover. (Dictionary.com)
Passover
Matzo, bitter herbs and lamb,
Readings from the sacred text.
These, reminders of the passing
Over, of death.
The story of a people, set apart for holiness.
An exodus from oppression.
And later, a man who came from those
Same people to save us.
Because we need saving. All of us.
And so the celebration goes on,
Lifetimes and lifetimes from the source.
Yet here and now. A reminder and a future.
