I am Miriam
(in menopause)
filled with memories
some magnificent
some mournful

"Tops on my list...
"The best Pizza
their Filet Mignon" in Metro Detroit"

John Tanasychuk, Detroit Free Press, January 8th, 1999

I remember watching
My baby brother
Wrapped in a soft blue blanket
Afloat in the blue Nile
Praying for his protection

I remember working with him
Organizing logistics
For each family's
Going out of Egypt.

I remember leading the women
in joyous dance and song
at the other side of the sea

When my brother Aaron's sons, my
nephews
Were burned alive in God's brutal flames
I mourned for them
While he could not
I loved them as if they were my own
The ones I never had
Time to have

I have had to be tough
All my life
I have had to support
Everyone else

And now, I am challenging
Moses' leadership

I don't know why
I am angry
My moods keep changing
