Jonathan Bracker
To a Modest Friend
You did something right or good
Or thoughtful or non-harmful
Today or yesterday or last week
Or last month.
You should magnify that
As though you were Bach
Writing a Magnificat,
Or angels
Choiring to Mary,
Or a weed
Drawn up by hot sun
To branch and flower vigorously
Like one of the tall standing menorahs
Outside the original Temple at Jerusalem.
