BACK IN AMERICA – NEWS OF BOMBING
Before we came to Israel
this was happening in our world
now it is happening on our street
BACK IN AMERICA – NEWS OF BOMBING
Before we came to Israel
this was happening in our world
now it is happening on our street
A TOAST TO OUR HOSTS
People of Israel
thank you for opening
we have fallen into your hearts
A CALL
Five times a day
Moslems climb their towers
to interrupt my prayers
TEMPLE MOUNT
Seven Christian sects
can fight for a hundred years
on who has the right to wash a window
Seeming so in love with the questions
that any answer is the death of the beloved
JERUSALEM STONE
Church, house, grave, wall
no give at all
JERUSALEM
Three days now on the Mount of Olives
watching the old city postcard change
from two to three dimensions
THE WALL
Walls are for wailing
and also for tumbling down
Unconscious fears rise in concrete form
conscious choices less visible rise with it
Inside and out of the builders and the wailers
there are a million voices
starting to hum that old Jericho tune
