Oct 2015
this summer was like
lucid dreaming an exorcism,
watching the little skeleton rise and scream and shatter
I bit into a mouthful of summer, expecting
sugar, and buttery love, but instead got a mouthful of
blood and broken teeth and shattered souls
I wrote this while living in Jerusalem during the 2014 summer "tzuk eitan"Β Β or "operation protective edge". Thought it was pertinent due to what's going on now with the wave of terror again in Israel.
